Art Wall Oct 2004

Al Setton

Al Setton’s postmodern work in watercolor media captures California’s sophisticated yet laid-back ambiance and is reminiscent of his Mediterranean roots. His ancestry is Spanish, Greek, Turkish, and Syrian; he has lived in Egypt and Italy. His paintings are striking: loose, bold, and colorful. His work hangs in public and private collections, including the Arthur Ashe Center at UCLA. Setton is the recipient of numerous awards in regional art shows and is past president of the Valley Watercolor Society. He has also been published in Mona Brooks’ Drawing with Children.
