‘ALTER EGO’ captures Best in Show for artist George Casprowitz NOVEMBER 2021

George Casprowitz

George Casprowitz was born in Hollywood, California in 1940. His first major employment was in the movie industry doing a variety of jobs on the production side of film making.

A film is produced in a rectangular format like most paintings. It tells a story using visual stimuli and depending on its viewer to supply a lot of their experience to complete its story. Much of George’s work depends on the viewer to relate its lines, circles and open spaces to ideas beyond the physical objects.

George’s next occupation after graduation from the University of Oregon was as an architect in New York and Philadelphia. Good architecture is more than walls, doors and hardware. Good architecture needs to function well, but should also be good aesthetic experience. George tries to do this in his art. His paintings use lines and solid forms as a format but the remaining space is of equal importance. And then there is colour and texture. Color is the constant through all the various forms his paintings, prints and sculptures have taken since his first one-person show in 1970 in Vancouver.

Since that first show, George has done one-man shows in Toronto, New York, London, Seattle, Portland, Calgary, Victoria, and Philadelphia in private and public art galleries. He work is in many public, corporate and private collections.

He currently lives and works in South Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.

Mr. Casprowitz is represented by Agora-Gallery, Chelsea Art District in New York with an exhibition scheduled for the fall of 2019.
