About The Artist
Stephen Westfall is a self-described “Poppish, post-minimalist geometric painter.” He insists that the unique way in which he skews and manipulates the shapes in his paintings is a result of undiagnosed “ADD and symptoms of dyslexia.” Instead of working on one painting at a time, he simultaneously works in segments on several, creating disjointed grids and vibrant canvases. Westfall's quivering lines and shaky structures invite the eye to consume the whole of the painting as well as the fragments therein.
