Sebastian Kruger Exhibit in Boston

I had the pleasure of taking in the Sebastian Kruger 'Face to Face" exhibit at Newbury Fine Arts in Boston this past Monday and it was nothing less than spectacular.  That me with my geek costume on for Halloween, posing next to the "Johnny Rotten" painting.  No flash was used and not animals were harmed during the photographing of this painting.  Thanks Claire for taking the photo!

If you ever have a chance to visit their gallery you should do so.  This is a fabulous gallery with great owners and helpful staff.  Robin Parrella, one of the owners, and her assistant Clair "McGrath" Carino are extremely friendly and helpful and made it a pleasure to visit.  They represent some of the world's best artists and there are always great pieces on display.

The Kruger exhibit has some fascinating pieces on display and it's so nice to be able to view them up close and take a look at his brushwork.  Some notable pieces that just blew me away is "Mr R & F'n'R", "Jack Nicolson: American Actor", "Cash" and "Tom Waits: The Other Night I Woke Up." 

This is a must-see art exhibition, whether you are just a casual gallery visitor, avid collector, artist or art student.

You can visit Sebastian's web site at: www.sebastiankruger.com/ or you can get more details on his blog at: sebastian-kruger-news.blogspot.com/.

All of the his pieces are incredible to view up close.  The Stones paintings are all just meticulously rendered.  You can see the thousands of tiny single brush strokes and hatchwork Sebastian lays down to create his portraits.  I will be visiting this exhibit quite a few more times before it's over on November 30th and I strongly suggest that if you ever get a chance that you do the same.
