 Contemplating Vanity

by Leon Steinmetz

October 7th – October 31st, 2011

Gurari Collections is pleased to present CONTEMPLATING VANITY, an exhibition of work- on-paper by Leon Steinmetz. An artist and intellect, Steinmetz takes inspiration through a range of influences from mythology, the Age of Reason, to that of select modern art masters. His work is filled with theatrical like irony poignantly involved with the human condition.

As Steinmetz states, “The artworks presented here came from various series, which have been created within the past few years. When I want to say something visually, I often feel that one sheet or one canvas is insufficient. So, I keep going, producing the works until the topic is visually exhausted for me. Thus, one series may consist of fifty works, while another of just four.”
