His art is also an intimate, need based form of self expression which is often relational to his experience and his imagination. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gortner\u2019s work has been featured at Lyons Wier Gallery (New York) Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery (Connecticut) and Pool Gallery (Berlin) and belongs to the Collection of Eileen S.
