This is the work of one of my favourite artists David Jon Kassan. I believe he is a modern master and his work just gets better and better. I first saw his work a few years ago and started to watch out for new pieces; he travels a lot and teaches and I hope one day to meet him. One of his pieces was selected this year for the BP portrait award, and in my opinion should have won. His work is sensitive and full of emotion, and his relationship and response to the sitters is in every pencil mark and brush stroke. His work will stand the test if time and will still be communicating with an audience long after pickled sharks have rotted and disintegrated. Just goes to show there is no substitute for hard work, dedication and a desire to constantly be the the best you can. To see more of this extraordinary artist go to www.davidkassan.com
