Graham Knuttel is an Irish painter and sculptor, who as a child needed to make things and started modeling in clay, wood, wax and papier Mache. He also did castings in bronze and silver. The 16”x8”x9” bronze heads of His Majesty and Her Majesty were stunning and intriguing. 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                          

Many celebrities and local entertainers were on hand for the grand opening and they marveled at Graham’s bold colorful paintings ranging from edgy chefs to nightlight characters. Prince Lorenzo De Medici from Italy enjoyed the art gallery along with his fiancé Rosemary Johnson. Prince De Medici just finished filming the TLC TV Reality series Secret Princes. He was quite charming as he talked with Sheldon Adelson.

Richard Burgi of Desperate Housewives and his son Jack also made quite a hit with his fans. Richard is known for his role as Karl Mayer who was married to Susan. I asked Jack if he was going to follow in the footsteps of his father and become an actor and he said no.

Graham Knuttel’s masterpiece was presented at the event and it was quite a piece of art telling a story of many chefs in the kitchen. Graham has hung his pictures in public places so everyone in all walks of life can see and enjoy his paintings. He has at times been referred to as “The Irish Picasso” and now the world can see and enjoy his contemporary art.
