Edward A. RAFFEL
20th century, USA

Edward A. Raffel is a self-taught artist, originally based in Cleveland, who has been making and exhibiting art for close to 20 years. He started out as a painter but turned to sculpture when he found over 300 rectangular metal stampings in his Cleveland Flats warehouse studio. Formerly exhibiting work at Asterisk Gallery in Cleveland, now exhibiting sculpture with Diane Ashley, owner and director of Ashley Gallery, shows mostly offbeat figurative paintings by Philadelphia and national artists, including "new realism, the recreated surreal, and conceptually thematic constructions."
