Nov. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- The Allentown, PA, arts community is abuzz with new excitement about the upcoming, debut exhibition by German-born, local artist and steel sculptor, Steven Condra. The exhibit, entitled "Alternative Perception", is scheduled to open on December 2 at Theatre 514 on 19th Street. Condra will be showcasing 14 of his engaging pen & ink works as well as some of his steel paintings and sculptures.

"I'm amazed at how receptive people have been," stated Condra. "It will be very interesting to observe how people react to the exhibit, especially my latest sculpture."

Condra, 26, was born in Kahlsruhe, Germany, but has been an Allentown resident for the past four years. He chose not to attend art school, or apprentice with his uncle (abstract artist, Peter Foeller) favoring letting his abilities find their own voice. This 'coming-out' exhibition is his first solo event in America, and the Allentown arts community is excited to welcome him into their fold.

In an attempt to bridge mediums, Condra has invited local poets from the Westside Poetry and Word Wednesday groups to recite short poems written in response to some of his works, and (since a strong part of his personal philosophy is giving back to the environment he lives in) a large percentage of the proceeds from sales at the event will be donated to Civic Theatre.

"Even if just one person reacts positively to my work, I'll be happy," said Condra. "I believe my art will appeal to a diverse audience, and I hope I am fortunate enough to get a broad cross-section of attendees."

Allentown residents will have the opportunity to meet and interact with Steven at the "Alternative Perception" event, which opens December 2nd at 5pm and runs until 7.00pm. His works will be displayed until December 20th, and a closing event date will be announced in due course, where similarly locals will have the opportunity to meet the artist once more.
