CV/Bio
Alan J Siegel began his study of art in Chicago with George Sotos and Mustafa Naguib which led to several sculpture commissions in bronze. After moving to New York City to attend the Art Students' League, Siegel put his artwork on hold and entered New York's restaurant industry, eventually becomming one of the most sought after Maitre D's in the Lincoln Center district. After a long hiatus away from his artwork he decided to pick up where he had left off and began sculpting again, producing a number of figure compositions based upon Jewish themes. Since moving to the Hudson Valley Siegel has expanded his sculptural technique and style in a more abstract direction and continues to draw from life at local workshops.
His creative drive has led Siegel to turn once again to the restaurant industry and team up with acclaimed chef Doug Vincent with whom he worked at Le Bar Bat, a popular Manhattan supper club. Together they are developing an exciting new approach to brick oven pizza which got rave reviews at test runs in the Hudson Valley and are planning to launch their first restaurant in Jersey City, NJ in 2018. Stay tuned!!
