Frank O'Cain
Painting Demonstration

10 am to 4 pm, Saturday, July 19, 2008

Frank O'Cain teaches the basic principles of pictorial structure. He gives his students a point of departure enabling them to move forward to the realization of personal creative visions.

Mr. O'Cain was born in San Diego, California and studied at the Art Students League for four years, part of that time with Vaclav Vytlacil. He is unusual in that his abstract art derives from an elaborate study of long-forgotten fifteenth-century techniques. Recently, O'Cain has been exploring a new approach to space in painting. As he says, "I am always wandering about in the unknown, asking myself questions, creating new problems, finding fresh possibilities".

G. L. Sussman
Stone Carving Demonstration

10 am to 4 pm, Saturday, December 13, 2008

"One needs the historical tool to create unencumbered, using one's own contemporary sensibilities." Witness the mystery and the magic of being OK in the world of uncertainty as it materializes, through the process of elimination, in a developed sculptural form.

G. L. Sussman studied at the John Herron Art School; The Art Students League; the Ecole des Beaux-Art, Paris, France, and the Academy in Florence, Italy. In 1973, he was awarded an Edward G. McDowell Travel Grant. Upon his return, he became apprentice to Jose de Creeft. In 1976, Mr. Sussman became Sculptural Technician, and later Dean of Students at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, in Maine. In 1979, he became Director of the Sculpture Center School in New York City. He has taught Sculture at The Art Students League since 1991 and is now Director of its Vytlacil Campus.
