The
works of Stephanie Seymour all have an unbreakable bond: depth and color,
colors are strong and determined as ecstasy imprints art of this painter not
only essential but more ironic sometimes. playful woman, an interrogater,
restless and curious as in the character of healthy children when the great questions
about the world, the surrounding scenery, the equations and the enigmas of life
are the essential lifeblood to find out the reality. His paintings tell of
lives that intersect with ours, while we pause to learn their contours
observing the manifold production of this artist of California at Los Angeles
who lives in Umbria for many years.
Paradoxes
repeated in most iconographic forms of figures that are imprinted on the canvas
as to radiate the static restless of life, the dynamics of the eternal return
of the equation or never stable of concepts that transpire from perfection,
from irregularities of exposed people.
For
this painter, illustrator and American photographer is not (only) an
exponential multiplication, but existential: Who is man? Or who is Stephanie Seymour?
In "The Other Side" there are questions not only about the artist in question but above all on themselves. The man who investigates through looks, poses, eyes that is 'wide open' in the mirror without ever reaching a solution, is the man that yes, it looks from the outside, but from within is the real star of life , of what he sees and what he lives. There never is a separation between artist and the observer that creativity produces never parish. Stephanie Seymour offers a 'world' in which she herself is a reflection of all of us, as well as art is life in all its complexity, in every color, intense or dull, rational or irrational, or just playful mocking ... Paintings a pictorial naturalness where every brushstroke is in the right place and where each color says and gives her space to time that goes beyond its horizon. And even where there is the contrast of colors, it seems to re-emerge even other colors and shades, as if to signify that even if the colors are not seen are still within the perceptual world of being and existence. Faces and images painted with very sinuous and almost surreal in the ability to settle on the canvas without misled by a millimeter: the canvas at the bottom is that space where time, the dynamic, the form and substance of things have their bond. Is the artist with his talent to know how to say it in so little space. Stephanie Seymour succeeds naturally and those who can enjoy the great creative power of this woman, will understand perfectly what is hidden to most people, being able to sense the ultimate expression of the self, potential that takes the form of the soul. This is the true art of Seymour: grasp the essence and dynamics dispute of the things that are interwoven and which seem to have no links ... But instead they thin the bond of life and union with the transcendence of reality with reality transcendent that becomes part of the new and unique in time monograms and color, space and synchronicity, interiority and consciousness, self-irony and pure actuality. All thickened by crystalline colors, effective, full of shiny softness, the colors defined but that capture the human soul polychrome, radiated from the look with which the heart rests and dips into reality. snapshot of a busy life that makes Seymour a real artist, a real big woman, who always offers us new answers before questions. With the taste of wonder. Sarah Minciotti - Agency Print Italy
