Elliot Appel was born in New York City in 1952 and has been painting for over 30 years.

Mr. Appel continued sketching in this way through high school.

Dissonant Harmony in Pink and Cyan | mixed-media digital painting on canvas | 20x16

In my work, I strive to create imagery that invites the viewer to have their own subjective experience and interpretation. Though much of my work is figurative, I am uninterested in slavish representation. Instead, I use my art as an expressive outlet where I seek to convey a sense of feeling, atmosphere, transitory memory, and the existential experience of the individual.

Featured Artist | Douglas Ferrin

Portrait of John Lukacs | Oil on Panel | 22" X 30"

Douglas Ferrin is a painter whose work explores intersections of realism and narrative. His style was dubbed “New Perceptionism” by the American National Gallery of Art lecturer Arthur DeCosta. This “new perception” is a style in which Roman illusionistic realism meets modern illusionism, and is camera corrected as opposed to camera conditioned.

Bring In The Clowns | Mixed Media | 30x40

Life Is A Party
CELEBRATE LIFE, LOVE, LAUGHTER AND JOY
Every moment should be a celebration of life. Our senses and our emotions can put us in touch with the magic and beauty that is around us. That is what I try to portray through my art.
My joyful, playful, whimsical images come alive with vibrant colors. They evoke the most positive emotions. Feelings of Love, Laughter and Joy.
