About Ken Yackel

Ken Yackel His work is unique and not run of the mill, not just a rendition or copy of a sports picture. He has an incredible talent and skill for composition and is good with his palette, I love how he shows form & movement. Each piece has rhythm, movement but it's not your typical "in your face" sports paintings. He's obviously very sensitive and it shows in his work, it is rare with sports for the artist to have such insight in that world b/c most sports artists are just fans and not professional athletes. He sees so much more than the normal things that everyone sees, he sees much deeper into the sport and it shows in his use of bold lines, intricate patterns and how he shows movements and shadows in his paintings and the detail in his sculpture .............
