John Kneapler

The Art Students League Exhibition Outreach Program @

Park Avenue Bistro

Park Avenue Bistro is currently featuring work that explores the abstraction of landscape.

John Kneapler is a gestural abstract landscape painter, whose striking and unique color combinations are defined by his powerful brush strokes and keen sense of fluidity. John’s ability to dance with color make for paintings that radiate with energy, confidence, and liveliness.

 

A graduate of Pratt Institute, John has been painting at the Art Students League of New York for the past 14 years.  Other recent solo shows were held at the the Gregory Way Gallery (California) and the Syd Entel Galleries (Florida).  Also an accomplished designer, John is president of the award-winning New York based firm, John Kneapler Design.

 

 

 

 

The ongoing partnership between the Park Avenue Bistro and the Exhibition Outreach Program of the Art Students League of New York surrounds diners with the power and beauty of contemporary art. The partnership’s mission is to create the rare environment where the sensual, intellectual, and communal pleasures of dining and art merge and enhance one another. Bon appétit and pleasurable viewing. 

 

 The Art Students League of New York

Founded in 1875 by artists, for artists, the Art Students League of New York provides affordable studio-based art education of the highest quality to anyone with the interest in making art. Great artists have trained, taught, and exhibited at the League and enriched its community. Apprenticeships, classes, lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and residencies uphold the League’s mission to support “artists and students who intend to make art a profession” and to cultivate “a spirit of fraternity among art students.”  

In July 2006, the League initiated the new Exhibition Outreach program under director Leah McCloskey to bring the work of our emerging artists to exhibitions in various venues throughout the New York metropolitan region.
