Neil Nagy Art

American, b. 1941
Neil Nagy was born in 1941 in the East Los Angeles Latino community of El Sereno. He is a figurative expressionist painter who draws up the single, powerful human form as a way to explore the humanistic personal and spiritual paths. Nagy's inspirations have continually evolved. He came to appreciate the culture and art of Mexico as he traveled extensively to drink in the colorful life of the people and the country and to study ancient Mayan civilizations. Several residencies in the plains of the Bahio and the central western coast added to his impression of his life and especially his art. He is also influenced by the work of Rembrandt, Constable, and Turner as well as Japanese art, especially contemporary woodcuts. Nagy received his education at San Jose State College for Industrial Design and Art and later at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel Allende. In 2006 Nagy was selected for an important "Bay Area Figurative" Exhibition where he showed alongside Diebenkorn Park, Oliveira, and others. He has held exhibitions internationally and has been included in a number of corporate and private collections.
