For internationally acclaimed artist Sigmund Abeles, home and heart are in South Carolina, and he displays both in a strikingly personal retrospective exhibit, From Whence I've Come: Drawings, Paintings and Sculpture by Sigmund Abeles, comprised of 46 works (plus artist sketchbooks) created over some six decades.
Abeles, who lives and works in New York City, is considered one of the foremost figurative artists in the country. His paintings, drawings and etchings grace countless museums and private collections around the US and Europe.
Although he graduated from the University of South Carolina, Abeles credits two other SC masters, painter Gerard Tempest and photographer Truman Moore, as well his mother and his visits to Brookgreen Gardens as the major formative influences in his artistic life.
Abeles began his career in the 1950s as a painter, but he soon branched out into drawings, etchings. His work is characterized by close observation of the human figure, often in domestic settings. Because of the emotional content of his creations, his style has been called "expressive realism."
