About Earl Klatzel:

Earl was born in 1957 in Calgary, AB where he attended the Alberta College of Art, and currently resides today.

After years of dedicated focus in his studio Earl has begun to show his reflections and influences of life in the 20th century. His straightforward look at life is characterized in the style and design of his artwork. The figure has always been the dominant drive in his portfolio, but expands into a visual history from where the portraits evolved.

Music and its history are the main theme to his portfolio, covering: Blues Life, Blues & Rock Musicians. Earl's knowledge of the music from listening to it for many years gives him the ability to project the atmosphere and sound into his work which brings the paintings alive.

Earl's technique with mediums give each painting a unique quality. His re-defined approach to painting allows him the versatility to achieve a greater visual depth and a more realistic appearance to his paintings. His eye for detail and color authenticity in images from the past produces a true picture of daily life from an era gone by.

Earl's art is collected by corporate and private collectors in: Canada, United States, Australia, Brazil and Europe.
