Schaller family
Provocative and whimsical , Schaller propels the viewer into scenes of seemingly unrelated subjects , creating his own captivating and complex sonatas . Simultaneously , they are pop and edgy , esoteric and direct . Using encaustic paints , Schaller weaves lost and found images and words to paint with a precision and intricacy not normally found in encaustic paintings . His approach is expressionistic , contemporary , and painterly , with powerful brush strokes that are set instantaneously .
Mr . Schaller , who holds a BFA from Arcadia University , has shown both nationally and internationally , in Chicago , New York , Switzerland , and recently The Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta , Georgia . He is frequently published in magazines and newspapers , chosen for juried art exhibitions and selected for special projects , commissions and murals . Schaller recently completed an art installation for PREIT and Main Line Health at the Exton Mall in Pennsylvania . He is named one of the Top 5 Most Influential Artists in Chester County by Business 2 Business . Schaller received a highly coveted fellowship from the Common Wealth of Pennsylvania and also the recipient of the prestigious Philadelphia Museum of Art Purchase Award .
