J.R. Mooney Galleries of Fine Art proud to announce the Art
Exhibition and Opening Event: “Mindscapes”,
a new selection of artwork of San Antonio Artist, Russell Stephenson
(Boerne, TX, May 15, 2015) - Join J. R. Mooney Galleries of Fine Art-Boerne on June 13, 2015 at
4 pm – 8pm as they feature “Mindscapes”,
a new selection of artwork of San Antonio Artist, Russell Stephenson.
Stephenson will premier eight new paintings that are an compositional
departure from his signature Texas Panoramic series that was previously showcased
by J.R. Mooney Galleries- Boerne. In “Mindscapes” the audience is faced with the artist’s fascination
with invented mental constructs of Surrealist inspired Western Landscapes. Stephenson
Russell
Stephenson, a Texas painter, has mastered an unrelenting painterly approach to
the gorgeous godliness of our great state of Texas. Radiant browns and various
tones of burnt sienna seem to meddle perfectly with contrasting cool slate
grays, snowy silvers and wispy whites; where atmospheric amalgamations of
colors are ever approachable, digestible and delicate in their ephemeral and
abstracted beauty.
Bastrop
fires, unrelenting skylines, sublime mentalities, conceptual collectiveness,
universal experiences, mental constructs and intuitive automatism all play a
role in Russell Stephenson’s paintings A tribute to the Texas sky, the flat
plains of Midland/Odessa, the rolling Hill Country, and the wide open plains to
Pan-handle typography, Stephenson depicts all that is our great state of Texas
in minimally rendered but systematically charged abstracted landscapes.
“My work is
created with loosely rendered and intuitively controlled marks, which simulate
infinite illusionary environments. These
environments are based on personal experiences, internal places, and
translating sound into visual occurrences.
I consider these works to be imaginary landscapes, occurrences, and
atmospheres and objects that are both created out of expressionism, while
conversely leaning more towards systematic formulation. My work is concerned with texture and
perception as well as surface and color.
Overriding themes in my work involve a flawed or fallen nature, over
saturation, urban decay, and meditations on transcendence. As a record of collective experiences, the
marks and movements are at once fueled by automatism, and intuitionism. My
works serve as a living journal, and transcendental artifacts. My range of materials grows with necessity,
and accessibility.”
