About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
Steve Huston worked construction to support himself through college. That experience seems to have heightened his aesthetic interest in depicting the strength inherent in physical labor for many of his paintings show partially nude men and their muscularity. "Untitled" is set up as a nostalgic scene when a young boy seems lost or is reflective about the possibility of becoming a powerfully strong boxer. There is a lovely sweetness and tenderness about the child himself and his dreams. He looks to be about 10 years of age, skinny, over large gloves, and feet wrapped in floating white fabric. What choices will he make? Where will he be in 10 years? An exquisitely rendered painting.
Steve Huston is an internationally renowned painter and draftsman. He was born and raised in Alaska and studied at Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design, while working construction each summer to pay his tuition. Even before graduating with his BFA, Huston began illustrating for such clients as Caesar’s Palace, MGM, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios among others. Huston began teaching life drawing and painting, composition and anatomy; first at his alma mater, then at the Disney, Warner Brothers, and Dreamworks Studios. He began his career as a fine artist in 1995, winning top prizes at the California Art Club Gold Medal Show that year and the following. Huston continues exhibiting his work widely.

Charles Pompilius figurative Young Female Nude Oil on Panel
Located in Detroit, MI
"Untitled" portrays a young female nude in an intimate setting within the artist's studio. This painting is done in the classical vein of full portraiture. The model, however, is not posed quietly, but is engaged with a person or object off the frame, or, perhaps in an interior monologue with herself. Regardless of which, the viewer's attention is not only attracted to the beauty of the model's figure, but the intention of her actions.
