About David:

As an expression of his own calculated observation and visual consumption of surrounding environment, introspective glimpses of reality imbue the art of David Jon Kassan. By immersing himself into his subject matter, Kassan is able to infuse his paiinting with life and realism. Kassan’s direction of realism follows the philosophies emplyed by the Ashcan School of American Realists. Kassan’s influences are varied; citing Robert Henri and John Sloan as his primary influences on philosophy and subject matter. As for style and technique he cites Antonio Lopez Garcia, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline and Clyfford Still as influences as well.

I looked at these paintings for 5 min straight and I still can’t believe they’re not real. You’ve not only captured the human face but also the spirit( both very hard to do) Excellent.

Excellent. I am a big fan of Jeremy Lipking and this is similar in mood and color.

Wow! I thought these paintings were photographs. They are so real, like you could reach out and touch them and they would move, speak..they touch the senses and stir the soul.
