Metro Curates 2015

Stephanie London Inspired by the histories of her subject matterobjects culled from flea markets and second hand stores, Stephanie London paints intimate pictures of vases, birds, and florals that masquerade as still lifes. Emphasizing color, light, reflection, and shadow she expresses a narrative that mirrors each object's personal story-real or fabricated-and engages the viewer to imagine their own. Her landscapes involve water, weather an ocean view or a wet, reflective strip of road. She rises to the challenge of allowing something else to appear, something intangible, mysterious, perhaps also suggestive of a personal narrative. She employs a certain quality of paint in pursuit of capturing an ever elusive feeling.
