STEVE SMULKA offers a unique vision into the world of contemporary realism.  Not only does he offer enormous technical capacity, but a strange and wonderful alchemy from his contemporary realist work.  That alchemy is the alchemy of light that emanates from his subjects.  Vintage mason jars, hurricane lamps and old soda siphons take on an almost magical quality as he explores the fjords and canyons of light within them..  His particular vision is glass, made utterly real but transformed by paint into prism and pulse, a wondrous world of the complexity of natural light.  As art critic J. Bower Bell has said, "Each work is lovingly crafted, the treatment of glass profound, mature, the skill, awesome; but it is the light that matters, the light that is somehow transformed by facility of hand and felicity of brush into a compelling icon.  This mysterious alchemy of craft, vision and cunning turns paint into light and light into magic."

The Snow Goose Gallery congratulates Steve Smulka, recently awarded the prestigious Pollack- Krasner Grant for his work!
