Painting from Life, Portraiture
Oldrich Teply has said, ãArt is the embodiment, not of sheer internality, but of the
self's whole being in the world.There is no dichotomy between the inner and outer world
within which the artist lives÷no cleavage between the knower and the known.
ãArt as a frame of reference, as a mode of apprehension, is inclusive of being
(existence) and becoming (growth and change) and is therefore absolutely essential to our
development as whole selves and not to be considered frivolous and thereby relegated to
a less important role in education.ä
Mr.Teplyâs class is for both adults and teenagers. Using a structured approach to
the craft of art, Mr.Teply encourages an atmosphere of openness and engagement,
allowing freedom for individual expression.
Mr.Teply has won numerous awards including the Strathmore Paper Award,
which underwrote a traveling exhibition of his work. He received an award from the
Portland Art Museum, in Portland, Oregon, which has a close working relationship with
the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mr.Teply is represented in many public and private collections.The U.S. Air
Force commissioned him to paint four murals for the Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas.
He has successfully combined a career in fine arts with illustration and art
direction for a host of prestigious clients including, Time magazine, Omega Watch
Company, C. E. Lummus, Mobil Oil Company, Ciba-Geigy, Channel 13, Irving Trust,
Gulf-Western and Continental Insurance.
