Tom Knechtel’s idiosyncratic oil paintings and drawings of mythical and theatrical characters have transformed the refinement and virtuosity of Renaissance \”realism\” into modern existential struggles and celebrations. A comprehensive and lushly illustrated 20 year survey of the artist’s rich career. Poetry by Amy Gerstler and Richard Howard.
