Heath Center Art Gallery will host artwork by John Steinkamp beginning Monday, Jan. 10. The art show is open through Friday, Feb. 18 and the artist reception on Wednesday, Feb. 16 from 6:30-7:30 pm.
A self-taught oil painter, Steinkamp is a Quincy professional that has served the community in several different roles. With a Bachelors of Applied Science Degree in Graphic Art, he has worked with advertising agencies, television stations, non-profit organizations, and entrepreneurs.
In recent years, he has steadily increased his scope to include fine art, selling works in Chicago galleries and participating in art competitions. He has taught the fundamentals of drawing to students of various ages and abilities.
In this collection, Steinkamp displays his most current level of skill in a focus on formal portrait work in oils. His dedication to depicting a likeness of the figure is coupled with a refinement in brushstroke and color harmony.
