Stuart Dunkel is an artist, a musician and an author. He has studied music at Boston University, Mannes College of Music, the Juilliard School (Doctorate), and art at the Boston Museum School, Kent State, the Academy of Realist Art, the Seattle Academy of Art as well as privately with respected teachers. Even after his extensive education, Dunkel still feels that he is self-taught, because he has utilized his innate artistic abilities throughout his life.
This extremely versatile artist is best known for his small paintings of mice, typically with treats. Beneath their cute exterior, these paintings reflect Dunkel’s intelligence and creativity in forming great compositions. Dunkel’s primary influences come from the Netherlands artists between 1550 and 1720 for their clarity of image and beauty in painting. The surreal aspects of Dunkel’s work may stem from his early influence by Dali.
Recently, Dunkel has begun painting landscapes. They have a soft impressionistic feel, and are a new avenue of artistic exploration for Dunkel.
