Exhibition: Western Iconography by Stephen Nobel

Artist Statement by Stephen Nobel
"My paintings and installations start with my vision to see what I have not seen yet, so that another person may see what I see. An affair with abstraction has evolved to afford me a visual vocabulary unbound by narrative or depiction. I try to be fluent with the fundamental elements of my art: scale, pattern, color, and texture set by the touch of my hand. I am committed to putting color on canvas in whatever manner it takes.
My renewed Western sensibility and awareness of its unique iconography inspire new art with quiet tension embedded in the colorful adjacencies. This place is a determinative element in this work.
My artistic journey has evolved over decades. It is why I go to the studio: to find out what’s next. To see what has yet to be seen.”
