SYMPHONY — GEORGE SCHULMAN

George Schulman is a New York-based artist known for layering unconventional materials, including fabric, found objects, and 24-karat gold leaf, on his paintings. His work, which is rooted in the legacies of Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Expressionism, infuses storytelling, Biblical verses, and visual tension to create immersive, textured canvases that evoke both spiritual reflection and emotional intensity.

Born in 1947, Schulman began experimenting with art at an early age and started his formal studies in art at the age of 9. He received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts and his MFA from Brooklyn College. His work has been exhibited in numerous museums and institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Guild Hall, and the Heckscher Museum of Art, among others.
