Stuart Dunkel was born in Fair Lawn, New Jersey in 1952 and currently lives in Boston. Dunkel began painting and playing classical music at the age of five and went on to a long career with top orchestras in Boston, New York and Hong Kong. In 1994, Dunkel transitioned from music to fine art. For his subject matter, Dunkel alternates between still life, landscape and animal portraits that fuse detailed depictions with subtle humor. Dunkel hopes his viewer will find joy, optimism and playfulness, as well as a sense of classical balance and beauty in his work. Dunkel's professional track has revealed to him the many similarities between music and painting. Rhythm, harmony, counterpoint, balance, contrast, scales, chromatism, keys, high and low, dark and bright, loud and soft, colorful and dull, can all be found in his compositions. Dunkel is a member of The International Guild of Realism, The Art Renewal Center and the Copley Society of Boston and has won awards and been invited to show at The Guild of Boston Artists, The Copley Society of Boston, The Salmagundi Club, as well as art galleries throughout the United States. Recent shows include Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and the Affordable Art Fair New York.
