Steven Assael

Steven Assael is an American painter known for his incredible grasp and execution of the human figure. I’m focusing on his drawings here because I was completely blown away by them. Assael demonstrates a mastery of the human figure that I could only dream of accomplishing, and his ability to capture light and shadow is amazing.

I’ve never been very interested in figurative artwork or drawing, but Assael’s work has given me a newfound appreciation of the genre. I hope to incorporate some of this new found inspiration into my own work in the future, although when I will have the time to dedicate to such an endeavor remains to be seen.

I don’t now what else I can say about this work other than the fact that I am totally amazed. I”l let the pictures do the talking for me.
