Publisher's Synopsis
Art catalog of Stephen Najda - Exhibition in New York City, Agora Gallery, 2018.
Stylistically placed between Matisse and Picasso, the oil paintings of Stephen Najda feature expressionistic figures representing the primitive self.Segmenting forms into compelling color and bold line, Najda draws the viewer's focus into every individual element: both in those that make up the human form and those that make up a deeper sophisticated, developed composition. In this way, his works are highly intelligent explorations of form and representation, questioning what it means to be human and what it means for artwork to be transformative.
