Serge Strosberg

A prestigious portrait artist who commissions work from famous people around the world.

Emotional Intensity

Serge Strosberg was born in the United States and raised in Europe. He received classical training at the prestigious Academie Julian and Ecole nationale superieure des beaux-arts in Paris. In 2008, he exhibited his work at the Felix Nussbaum Museum (Germany) and the Musee de Pontoise (Paris) in Germany with Lucian Freud, Philip Pearlstein, Chaim Soutine, and Alex Katz in major group exhibitions of realist painting.

 

Strosberg's work is characterized by its precise draftsmanship, muted palette, and psychological density. His paintings often explore the human condition, depicting solitary figures lost in thought or engaged in simple tasks. There is a sense of introspection and melancholy in his work, which reflects the artist's own temperament.

Influenced

Some artists focus on capturing the physical likeness of their subjects, while others strive to capture their essence. Serge Strosberg falls into the latter category. His portraits are influenced by artists like Andrew Wyeth, Nan Goldin, Alice Neel, Modigliani and Lucian Freud. They are not just hyper-naturalistic but ooze with personality and character.

Strosberg has the ability to capture the essence of his subjects and infuse their psychological acumen, and emotional intensity. This makes his portraits some of the most fascinating and compelling images you’ll ever see.

Expressionist

Strosberg’s portraits consist of subjects of all generations, races and genders that he expresses as his “Humankind” collection. In January-February 2023, Strosberg will be presenting a contemporary and whimsical take on Henry Flagler and the Gilded Age at the Cultural County for Palm Beach County.
