A magical illusion of three-dimensional reality is captured in these original dioramas of well known painters whose work is iconic and whose lives are captivating. Mark Steele's unique method of creating each and every element using clay, plaster, metal, paint, canvas and numerous other materials, creates a totally original and cohesive environment for each scene and gives the figures a sense of scale. Full size paintings and sculptural elements create backgrounds, while the use of light in the photo stage finally brings these personalities to life. The Painters Series is available in archival gicleé prints of various size and also as note cards.
