All tagged Paul Hartel
Hailing from New York and currently residing in the picturesque West of Ireland, I immerse myself in the world of abstract, neo-expressionist, and art brut styles, using a diverse array of mediums such as oil, acrylic, oil stick, pastels, charcoal, and pencil. I firmly believe in creating art for art’s sake, valuing the authenticity of spontaneous artistic expression.
Hartel, from New York, spent his early years there in Buffalo, Jackson Heights, Manhattan, and the Bronx, and has lived and worked in New Jersey, Waterford Ireland, Saint Martin French West Indies, Netherlands Antilles, Washington DC, West Virginia, and now in Sligo Ireland.
Without formal training, Hartel paints and draws with mixed media including oils, acrylics, oil pastels and charcoal, mostly in abstract and neo-expressionist styles, with influences that include DeKooning, Pollock, Twombly, Clemente, Miro, Frankenthaler, Mitchel and Wool. Hartel has exhibited in art galleries and international art fairs in New York City and West Virginia and galleries in Dublin where his work is for sale and has been sold and auctioned for private collectors and charitable organisations.
