Figure Paintings by Atwood Atelier Artists

June 18 - September 17

Atwood Atelier is an art studio and school focusing on a classically inspired approach to contemporary painting. The Atelier hosts workshops, classes, and uninstructed open studio figure drawing sessions.

Founded by Philip Salamone, he was born in Madison and raised in central Wisconsin.  He graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in Fine Arts and, seeking a classical understanding of painting from life, moved to New York to study at the Grand Central Atelier.  After completing the three year program, in addition to study at the Art Students League, he returned to Madison to paint and to teach.  In an effort to build a community, to learn from other artists, and to routinely practice painting from the figure, he rented a studio and started offering classes, workshops, and open studios.  Philip now teaches at both Madison College, and also at my school, the Atwood Atelier.
