2012 Limited Edition Print Artist :: Andrew Saftel Studio Tour

Saftel’s creative process is driven both by conscious choice and impulsive reaction, a combination that enables the paintings to assume a dual character.

In each work Saftel gathers bits and pieces of color and culture, and interweaves them in distinctive compositions that resonate with the senses and stir the imagination.  Though not unlike monuments to the history of human activity, the works vividly document his personal “treasure hunt of being alive” and, thus, demonstrate that art need not mimic the visual world to reflect human experience.  Opposing realities – personal and universal, internal and external – somehow exist simultaneously, reminding us of the inexplicable interconnectedness of life. 
– Stephen C. Wicks, Knoxville Museum of Art
