| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
The biggest art inspiration was meeting Miss Betty Piersons Parsons, Betty Parsons Gallery, in 1980 at her gallery and getting a personal tour of Mark Rothko paintings, works by Jackson Pollock, Cleve Gray, and a new artist that Paul discovers to be one of his favorites, an obscure collagist named Anne Ryan. Paul purchases a Betty Parsons wood construction from the art dealer that she made. A man that looks like Santa Claus comes into the gallery with a sack of wood construtctions for Paul to pick.
Later that year Paul meets Portrait Artist Alice Neel and sits for her in her living room. There is a bronze cat she made on her mantle, and paintings of many notable people lining her floors in stacks, like Marisol Escobar. |

| Artist Statement |
Paul Edelstein is one of the Midsouth United States most well-known artists.
Edelstein's artwork is conceptually driven by the figurative relationships that occur in abstraction. Deeply intrigued by the associations and connections of personalities casually coming and going, Edelstein focuses on the transient nature of places and the interactions of characters in his rich compositions.
Edelstein is motivated to create through the enigmatic nature of people - the constructs of the group. Figures wait, anticipate, gather, and interact on Edelstein's canvases.
Nostalgic fashion details, such as rick-a-rack, argyle socks, and eccentric patterns, are regular features of his expressive oeuvre.
Like a director, Edelstein illustrates the intriguing meetings of his abstract cast. Paul paints in abstract figurative, impressionistic style, where color is his day long inspiration.
In his own words "a good sense of color is the foundation of a great painting". |
