Art Brokerage: Stephen J. Sotnick American Artist: b. 1948. Sotnick is an American Artist born February 28, 1948- New York. He is recognized as an accomplished Fine Artist as well as a Graphic Artist, Curator of Contemporary Art and Fashion Designer. His love of art began as a young student where he was quickly recognized for his extraordinary talent. Stephen attended Fullerton College where he worked as an assistant in the Art Department. He subsequently followed his passion at Otis Institute of Fine Art in Los Angeles, and next went on to The University of Cal-State at Fullerton. There he was named the chairman of Student Exhibitions. His instinctive ability as a curator resulted in his creation of the Shop City Gallery an Avant-Garde exhibition space in Fullerton. He mounted a prize winning, one-man exhibition of his own large Assemblages which launched his professional career. Spurred on by his initial success he then founded downtown Los Angeles's first Avant-garde Gallery. He is responsible for curating over one hundred exhibitions. The scope of the featured artists was expansive, from sculpture, to painting, to ceramic, to performance, music, and art installations. The artist lets his new works evolve out of his last creation until he exhausts a style and discovers, in his last piece, the path to a new series.
