Born in Germany and growing up there in the geographic center of Europe, Eisele was fortunate to travel and see many of the stunning architectural monuments and priceless art in the great museums all around Europe. He subsequently studied Medicine in Munich and opened my first art gallery called the “Graphic Box” while still a medical student. Eisele and his wife came to America in1971 for further medical training and never went back home. In 1975, they moved to Houston, where he established a private medical practice and has been working as a physician ever since. During the first years in Houston they were active in the local art scene mainly as visitors and collectors. In the late 80s he joined the William A. Graham Gallery as a partner.  After Bill Graham’s untimely death in 1992, Eisele opened his own gallery called “ArtScan Gallery” in the renovated Vine Street Studios downtown in 1998. The gallery’s name now is Rudolph Blume Fine Art / ArtScan Gallery and they are curating an average of 7 to 8 exhibitions per year, having a full exhibition program on schedule. In October 2016 Sculpture Month Houston’s first city wide festival involving sculptures and installation art was inaugurated at the “Silos” at Sawyer Yard. Three more Sculpture Month Houston events were to follow: in 2017 “Tensile Strength”, in 2018 “Peak Shift”, in 2019 “Outta Space “. The title for 2020 is “Altamira”.
