He works at the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Tyler School of Art as a model\, and is a self employed artist.\n"Being an artist with a studio located in Philadelphia\, I spend many late nights in bars. In a modern city\, most serious painter's\, including myself\, work at some other art related job. The long work day\, plus time in my studio often leaves only the late hours in the evening for getting together with fri ends.\nMy artist friends hang out at bars late at night which helps me t o catch up with them and to unwind".\nThe oil paintings included in this exhibit represent a painted "pub crawl" through the bars\, taverns\, an d dives I frequent in Philadelphia\, Bucks County\, and New Jersey.\nGal lery owner Howard Cooperman said "when Steve first approached me with th e idea of hosting a show for him which would include only bar scenes\, I was excited tosee what he had up his sleeve. Upon him showing me the fi rst three completed paintings which included the bar at the Logan Inn\, Lambertville Station\, and Jack's Firehouse\, I was amazed at his accomp lishments".\nCooperman continued "I had no idea Steve painted anything o ther than realistic horse portraits and traditional equestrian paintings ".\nAnyone that has been inside a bar will relate to the warm atmospheri c artwork Messenger has created. The artist stated "I'm pleased with how all of the paintings came to life as I was doing them. The more I did\, the more I liked them which challenged me to continue my journey into a dditional bars in my travels".Messenger's awards include: Honorable Ment ion at the ArtsBridge Winter Show - Best in Show\, Mixed Media juried dr awing show - Best painting at Cheltenham Art Center juried show\, and th e Merium Lewis Scholarship - Philadelphia Watercolor Club\, Water based Media Award\, and others.\nArtwork by 35 additional artists from the Uni ted States and Canada will be exhibited throughout the two story\, eight room gallery.
