World Renowned Artist Art Siegel Showcases 3D Art Works in Boca Raton’s Museum Of Art

By Rachel Almeida

Boca Raton has been made home to many creative minds, and nationally renowned artist Art Siegel is no exception. His 3D works are now open for public view and his uncommon inspirations and artistic background have garnered him a lot of attention from the Boca Raton area and beyond.

His works, which are on display at the Boca Museum of Art until July 14, are entitled Kinetic Vistas and implement photography and physical elements to create an intricate, three-dimensional piece. And it’s not only Boca Raton that has sparked an interest in Siegel’s innovations; Art’s pieces hang in various homes across the globe, from Montreal to South America—proving that art can be a universal language.

Siegel, a native New Yorker, has found a way to make use of his retirement years in South Florida by continuing to draw upon his natural talent for design and construction to create his art. Having worked in public television, Art draws on his knowledge in scenery backgrounds to design his one-of-a-kind works, which use pieces of wood, metal, and plastic to enhance the detail of the featured photographs.

His dimensional creations, which include titles such as 7th Avenue Local and Number 6 to Pelham Bay, often depict bustling city-scenes and have been known to give viewers the feeling of being a part of the piece—not a common characteristic for modern artwork.

“The audience needs to feel that the action is occurring in a real place. Whether that reality is inside a courtroom, in front of a fantasy castle, or in John Adams’ period home,” Siegel says, “Everything that appears on the screen must serve as credible context for the story.” Unlike his artistic contemporaries, Siegel’s Kinetic Vistas focus on the background, and not the individual subjects.

Not only does his artwork produce a creative outlet, it has also prompted charitable, community involvement. Two of Siegel’s pieces will be on display at the Yaacov Heller’s Gallery 22 for a cocktail and cupcake reception benefitting The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, MSF, on Thursday, May 23rd. The event, which will take place at Heller’s Gallery 22, will also give guests the opportunity to have a meet-and-greet with Siegel and learn more about his chance encounter with the artistic communities of South Florida.

The reception will benefit MSF, which is a foundation whose main focus is not only to assist those affected by multiple sclerosis, but also to create educational programs that help educate the community on the realities of those living with MS.

Yaavoc Heller’s Cocktails and Cupcake Reception will be held on Thursday, May 23rd at Gallery 22, and will run from 5:30to 7:30pm, which is by invitation only.
