Happy Hour Artist Talk - with Harvey Konigsberg

Harvey Konigsberg was born in New York City in 1940. He studied painting at New York University and the University of Miami with Eugene Massin. In 1965 he began practicing Aikido with Yamada Sensei at the New York Aikikai. He devoted himself equally to the disciplines of painting and Aikido. In 1987 he founded Woodstock Aikido and continues to serve as chief instructor. He is currently a 7th degree black belt and a Shihan, Master Instructor. Over the years his work has been exhibited in 22 one-man shows in New York as well as other exhibitions throughout the US and Canada. His work has also been represented in private and museum collections. He believes art should be a luminous experience for both the artist and viewer. To create this experience in his work, he continuously strives to use movement and form to reveal the unseen world.
