Follow on Google News | Visual Artist, Steven Condra, Debuts Work In Allentown, PA"Alternative Perception" debut art exhibition from visual artist and sculptor, Steven Condra, opens December 2nd in Allentown, PA.
By: Anthony Donnelly "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. # # # ABOUT Visual Artist and Sculptor, Steven Condra: up-and-coming visual artist and steel sculptor, Steven Condra, works many mediums, and is available to entertain commissioned works.
