Description
Opaque and transparent colors work together in this beautiful Monotype painting by David Stephens (American, 20th century). Signed "D. Stephens" lower right. Unframed. Image, 16.5"H x 25.75"L. About the artist - in 1989 Stephens jettisoned a corporate career to make his living as an artist. In the years that followed, a growing circle of galleries and collectors were drawn to David's work. In the spring of 1996, he and his wife Sylvia opened a gallery in Carmel, California - named for Sylvia Savage, the gallery director, Savage Contemporary Fine art. Since opening, the gallery maintained the original vision and values: to show and sell unique contemporary paintings and sculptures that blend the abstract and the figurative to express archetypal themes. According to David: "First and foremost, I am a colorist. I am naturally inclined towards an exploratory, emotional approach because, for me, color connotes a sense of spiritual energy and centeredness. Additionally, many of my images contain spatial elements and movement which lends a sense of expansion. Line, form, and texture also help shape my interpretive, light-filled paintings."
