“She offers herself to her deity, her lover and her soulmate. She is pure and true, unembellished by the ravages of society. She is life… she is the ultimate sacrifice.”

ABOUT DORIAN CLEAVENGER
This talented, multi-faceted artist has garnered international fame for his novel approach to art…a distinct style he terms “Pseudo- Realism”, which is characterized not only by his intriguing subject matter, but also his mastery of the imposing and difficult medium of acrylic paints. This technique has been so successful that many professional artists have confused his work as having been done in oils or airbrush.
Initially, after completing school, Dorian did artwork as a freelancer for various corporations; but feeling inhibited by the requirements of commercial art and by the concepts and dictates of the business world, soon struck out on his own. Not long after he was doing covers for magazines, illustrations for various publications, and holding exhibitions of his original work in Europe and the United States. Several art books exclusively dedicated to his works followed, as well numerous articles and interviews on his art and techniques published throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. And now , in conjunction with Yamato USA, Dorian adds three dimensional figures as part of Yamato USA’s Fantasy Figure Gallery.
Having become highly successful as a freelance artist, Dorian has also undertaken to share the knowledge he has acquired through acute analysis of the materials and techniques he employs. He currently teaches classes in airbrush, acrylics, and conceptual art and design at the prestigious Douglas Education Center near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which has given him an outlet and the satisfaction of seeing his students accomplishing their artistic desires under his personal tutorage. Dorian has also recently completed work on a personal tutorial DVD. As well as displaying some of this prolific artist’s paintings, this DVD is structured to help the viewer, whether he is an accomplished artist or a beginner.
