ART Blog: David Kassan

David Kassan is a contemporary American painter known for his life-size realist portraits. The paintings combine figurative subjects with abstract backgrounds. Of this dual representation strategy Kassan says, “my effort to constantly learn to document reality with a naturalistic, representational painting technique allows for pieces to be inherent contradictions; paintings that are both real and abstract.”Kassan currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, and teaches painting classes and workshops at various institutions around the world.
