description: The figurative paintings and drawings of Steven Assael compels us to reach beyond our preconceptions of representation and the body; his hand captures those temporal nuances missed by the camera's mechanical limits. His portrait drawings are often of single figures, exactingly rendered and usually without background or setting. What remains is a near-surgical analysis of the subject. Working in ink and pencil, Assael astounds us with his technical ability, proving that care and skill are still vital elements of great art.
