Kline Academy Instructor Scott Yeskel Up-coming Solo Show

Valley Scenes

by Scott Yeskel

September 30 - November 5
Reception: Sat, November 5th | 5-7pm

Scott Yeskel, raised in the suburbs of Orange County, California and after graduating from high school, moved to San Francisco to pursue an education in the arts. He graduated from the Academy of Art College in 2002.

His work speaks to those who identify with the California lifestyle – often romantic but sometimes plagued with frustration. Yeskel’s love/hate relationship with Los Angeles’ freeways, boxy apartments and urban sprawl feed his desire to paint his environment as he sees – a jumble of mixed emotions.

Why take classes at Kline Academy?

With the impressionists and later contemporary artists, classical painting techniques were practically abolished. Trends changed and rather then incorporating centuries of painting knowledge, art schools basically “threw the baby out with the bath water.” During the Renaissance, painting techniques were passed down from master to student.

Only in the past 5 or 10 years have there been a new group of private ateliers in America as well as some universities that are trying to teach figurative painting techniques that demonstrate the magic that can be produced with a glob of color and a simple brush.
