   For nearly four decades, Yankell has painted a multitude of musical and dance forms as well as figurative themes from a broad range of universal settings.  The works are developed through a combination of on-site painting from locations throughout the United States and abroad as well as studio work that incorporates live models and an exploration of instinct and imagination. Yankell also works in a variety of other disciplines including formal portraiture, bronze figure sculpture, and pure abstract painting.  His work gathers strength from diversity.

About

Stuart Yankell, b. 1962, is an American artist whose paintings celebrate life and the common fabric of humanity. He combines abstraction with a kinetic approach rooted in classical lighting and form that both embraces historical convention and seeks to expand the language of art.  Drawn from a universe of influences and insights, Yankell’s work has been recognized for its unique and progressive voice and has been displayed in museums and galleries throughout the world.  He descends from a fascinating artistic lineage which follows in the great American tradition of the Wyeth and the Calder families. Spanning more than a century, the profound visions of Stuart Yankell, his father Samuel Yankell, and his godfather Leon Bibel forge an enduring aesthetic language, all three having created extensive bodies of work that are both strikingly modern and deeply rooted in the history of art. Stuart Yankell founded the Joseph Morris Gallery in his grandfather’s names in 2010 to represent the family legacy.
