About Steve Roselles...
Black Hills artist Steve Roselles has been
selected to participate in the 17th Annual National Juried Exhibition of the Oil
Painters of America. Over 1200 artists submitted more than 2000 works for
jurying. Steve was one of only 200 whose paintings were selected for the
exhibition, and he has been awarded additional honors in the form of two
special jurors awards sponsored by Sourcetek and the Arlington Heights Art
Guild.
The National Exhibition, at the Dana Gallery in Missoula, Montana, runs from
May 2nd through June 14th. As a result of his selection, Steve is eligible for
signature membership in the prestigious Oil Painters of America.
Regarding his work, Steve has said, "My style can loosely be described as
impressionistic - I like the time honored description of impressionism - the
placement of single strokes of paint that are the right color, the right shape,
and placed in the right spot - this is what I strive for when painting."
Steve works both en plein air and in the studio. Self-taught, he has
developed a unique style using a palette knife for the majority of his pieces.
He enjoys painting landscapes, parks, gardens, and architectural subjects.
Steve's paintings may be seen at Blue Dog Gallery in Lead, SD, at Prairie
Edge Gallery in Rapid City, and at Wyoming Art and Frame in Gillette. In
addition, his latest work will be on display during the Artists of the Black
Hills Annual Exhibition, opening June 28th at the Opera House in Lead, SD.
Steve Roselles is a South Dakota native who grew up in the gold mining town of
Lead. He is a founding member of the Artists of the Black Hills. (http://www.artistsoftheblackhills.org)
