About the Artist
Alexey Steele is a visual artist with a background in the Russian representational school. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1967, he began art training at an early age in the studio of his father, Leonid Steele, a renowned artist of the Socialist Realism school of the Soviet Union. Steele attended the prestigious Surikov Art Institute of the Soviet Academy of Arts in Moscow and studied under internationally acclaimed artist Ilya Glazunov. He gained recognition for his multifigure, large-scale compositions, portraits, nudes, and plein-air landscapes. He conceptualized and spearheaded “Love My Neighbor,” an art intervention and social action project, and for many years produced “Classical Underground,” a visual art and classical music performance series. He moved to Los Angeles in 1990 and has been a resident of Culver City since 2013, where he lives with his wife, Olga, and two sons who attend El Marino Language School.
