Sachal: Master for the ages
By BigDreams. Filed in Featured Painting, Gallery Exhibits, Resident Artists |
We currently represent 11 Masters of Today. I will be introducing you to our Resident Artists through this blog. I hope you enjoy the posts and feel a bit more connected to our commitment to the arts.
Alexander P. Sachal, simply known as Sachal, has an amazing story. Here is a small introduction to this Russian born Master Artist: ” At 16 years old, I joined the Fine Arts School, Sculpture School, Sculpture Workshop. We were working for 4 hours in the shop, learning how to make sculpture. The next 4 hours were academic: learning architecture, decoration, stone carving, clay, hot wax process for bronze sculpture. In June 1941 school was closed and converted to a war factory to manufacture military hardware. So, I volunteered to the army so I could defend my country.” – Sachal
"Double Portrait" by Sachal, Oil on Canvas 52" x 42"
Sachal has a magical style of painting that stands up to the best of history’s master artists. Photos just cannot capture the depth of color and sense of emotion. The “Double Portrait” (oil on canvas, 52″ x 42″) painting currently hanging in the group show at the Gallery demonstrates Sachal’s ability to capture emotion. When he first showed us this painting he simply said that it showed human tenderness. Sachal has a vivacious love for life and dedication to painting. We are honored to represent his work and hope that you stop by to see this painting in particular of Sachal’s. Learn more about Sachal here.
