Juror: Michael Mentler 
Artist statement: 
"On the visual level my works are about the juxtaposition of figurative forms. On the visceral level they open up a dialogue about human relationships. They offer the viewer not just a glimpse of the artist's soul but a reflection of their own." 

"American Artists Drawing" magazine calls Michael Mentler a "Modern-Day Leonardo." 

A master of the human form, Mentler teaches at the Society of Figurative Arts in Addison, Texas as well as in workshops throughout the US. His teaching is based on classical techniques and methods developed in the Italian Renaissance and practiced for over five hundred years by the world’s great masters. He stresses individual expression, mass and planes of the human form, understanding figure structure, proportion and artistic anatomy, light/shade and design/composition. Which is also strongly reflected in his personal work. 

Mentler studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Layton School of Art in Milwaukee and Washington University in Saint Louis, where he taught figure drawing and design. His work has been featured in Saint Louis magazine, Communication Arts, Art Direction, Graphis and most recently in American Artist Drawing magazine in a feature article titled "Learn From The Sketchbooks of a Modern Day Leonardo."
