Desta Gallery presents: Reality, Memory and Fiction, featuring Stephen Namara.
The public is invited to a meet and greet artist reception on November 18th from 6pm – 8pm.
Stephen Namara
Oil, Watercolor, and Dry Pigment Paintings
Stephen Namara is best known for his drawings and paintings of people, objects and landscapes. His images are often “snap shots” of moments in his life. They speak to us without the need for words, while offering space within which we can experience our own mental and emotional reactions to the images, forms, and movements without the load of academic explanations. The non-narrative imagery he employs allows the attention to dwell on the formal and material aspects of painting, encouraging a more reflective approach to visual perception.
Stephen Namara has been exhibiting since 1980 in a variety of solo and group exhibitions, gradually evolving a style of art all of his own. His drawing skills together with his research into his subjects, has enabled him to produce a highly acclaimed body of work. His work is held in major corporate, state and university collections and he has been the recipient of numerous prizes in drawing. Prior to this show at Desta Gallery, Namara held regular exhibitions at Dolby Chadwick Gallery in San Francisco, Haines Gallery in San Francisco, Koplin Gallery in Los Angeles, and Atrium Gallery, St. Louis, MO.
Public Information: Artist reception is FREE and open to the public. For more information visit https://www.destagallery.com or call 415- 524-8932.
