Currently ongoing at Arcadia Gallery in New York City is a new show featuring over 30 recently-created works by perennial favorite, Malcolm T. Liepke. After a disappointing introduction to art education at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena during the 1970s, Minnesota-native "Skip" Liepke turned to the works of Velázquez and Sargent to find the methods and inspiration to create the types of painting he admired - works which were then very much out of favor. His emotional and narrative figure work soon found a home in illustration, however, but, despite his high-profile commissions and his many awards, he was never satisfied being part of that field; the constant need for comprising with art directors was far too limiting to his art. In the 1980s, Liepke left illustration to pursue a fine art career, and there, at the beginning of the revival of representational art, his paintings became highly sought after. Since his first solo exhibit in 1986, Liepke has enjoyed twenty-seven years of completely sold-out shows, and this current exhibit, "Unveiled," is right on track to continue that impressive statistic.
Arcadia Gallery SoHo is located at 51 Greene Street, between Grand and Broome. It is open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Friday, and from 11am until 6pm weekends. "Unveiled," a series of new works by Malcolm T. Liepke, is on view now, and runs through April 18th.
In honor of Liepke's current exhibition, Arcadia Gallery is offering their 300-page book, Malcolm T. Liepke: A Retrospective, at a 50% discount. This sale price is only being offered for the duration of Leipke's show. For more information, and to place an order, please contact the gallery at 212.965.1387.
