The exhibition, A Natural Style – The Artistic Realism of Dean Vigyikan, continues at the Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center through the remainder of June. The show has received a wonderful response from those who’ve visited. With about 55 paintings and 10 sculptures on display, there are many points of interest for just…
Greetings readers! Now that spring’s in full swing, there’s a plethora of fine arts events on the immediate horizon. I’m happy to announce that among these will be a solo exhibition of my paintings and sculptures on view at the Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center, located at 2001 Union Road, West Seneca, NY. …
We all enjoyed a lovely evening last Thursday at the West Seneca Art Society’s demonstration of the month, featuring my sculpting a portrait head of my own likeness (the easiest way to get a willing model). I’ve presented similar art demos over the past several months for various art groups, teaching some of the tools…
There’s an exciting fine arts event coming up this Saturday, May 4 from 6 – 9:00 PM. It’s called the “Spring Art Crawl” and it’s located along Main Street in Springville, NY. The street itself becomes an extended gallery exhibit as juried artworks are on display in various storefronts along the way. Over 50 artists…
Thanks to everyone who came out to the third annual “You’ve Gotta Have Art Festival” in Clarence NY two Saturdays ago. There was a nice steady stream of visitors passing through our exhibits during the show. I enjoyed meeting and interacting with fellow artists and art enthusiasts young and old. As can be seen in…

A few weeks ago I posted an article about some of my latest fantasy-related paintings which I’ve been selling…

In my teens, and even earlier, I used to enjoy painting animals, and during my high school years, I’d love taking opportunities to visit art exhibits featuring the works of leading wildlife…
I’m really looking forward to an art festival coming up in about two weeks. Actually I must admit I’d not heard of the event until I received an invitation to exhibit my artwork at the show this year. Well, I was honored and grateful for that invitation and found out that this will actually be…
As many people can tell by looking at my artwork, I have a profound interest in painting and sculpting animate living things including figures, animals and particular characters. Of course plant life is within the realm of the living too, but of the more quiet and subdued variety. It finds its way gently into all…
So when you’re hooked, you’re hooked. That’s how it works I suppose, and when it comes to fantasy art and fun, whimsical paintings, I certainly have intentions of “forward march”, and won’t be falling off the wagon any time soon! Now that’s not to say there’s no seriousness to any of it, at least seriousness…
