Biography
Alexey Steele, born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1967, began his art training at an early age in the studio of his father, the renowned Russian painter, Leonid Steele. He furthered his professional education at the prestigious Surikov Art Institute of the Soviet Academy of Arts in Moscow under internationally acclaimed artist Illia Glazunov. He moved to Los Angeles in 1990.
Known for his large-scale figurative works, Steele’s approach to figure is rooted in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. At the same time, his works possess a modern feel and intensity in their peculiar audacity of grand scale and grand themes.

August 2009: There are no tuxedos, no ushers, no raised stage here -- just a few thrift-store couches, some beach
chairs, a table covered with half-eaten pies and bottles of wine and a dozen nudes and seascapes
leaning against the walls.
