Steve De Saas/ Slawek Wisniewski/
Polish born , American artist, living in Southern California, Los Angeles area. M.D. Diploma from Poland, however always involved in creative arts mostly presented as oil painting on canvas. First shows in 1980-s ,Honorata Gallery -Lodz-/Poland/. Member-Zwiazek Plastykow-Polska /Poland/,Member- Slide Registry Dept. of Cultural Affairs-Los Angeles.
Succesfully showed his art in ARSG-Los Angeles County Museum of Art and affiliated with this gallery for five years. In later years, showing works in galleries of L.A. area. Then for few years working with group of NOHO-artists called EVA. Painting mostly surrealism, trompe l'oeil still lifes and now working on series of paintings showing expressions of Los Angeles.
At present time I'm working on series of paintings that show the escape from technical reproduction of reality.The major factor triggering conceptions of the series is City of Los Angeles, with many variations of the meaning. The plan is to make invisible visible ,bringing the unconscious process as far as possible.
The colors in my paintings are specifically chosen fulfilling the intentional illusions in my interpretation of the city. I like to show on canvas the emotional part in reception...
