Assael, Steven

www.stevenassael.com Steven Assael is recognized nationally as one of the leading representational figurative artists of his generation. His portrayal of the human image is empathic, ennobling, and psychologically penetrating. Assael's figure compositions synthesize the characteristics of the past masters with a selective eye for the present, suffusing elements of naturalism and romanticism to blend contemporary techniques with those of the past. Born and raised in New York, NY, Assael showed an enthusiasm for art at a young age, taking art classes at the Museum of Modern Art at the age of four. He attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and currently teaches at the School of Visual Arts in New York and at The New York Academy of Art. Assael's work is included in public and private collections around the world including the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yale University and the Chicago Institute of Fine Arts. His work was exhibited in a ten-year retrospective at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle and CBS Sunday Morning ran a feature on the artist and the show. Assael is represented by Forum Gallery and currently resides in New York City.
