Description
Much lauded painter, critic and teacher Stephen Westfall is based in New York, but has roots in the Bay Area. He was the recipient of the Prix de Rome award for painting in 2009, and for exhibition 21 here we are showing a selection of the recent canvases he completed while in residence at the American Academy in Rome this past year. When these works were first exhibited in the Academy galleries in March, they hung along side large murals Westfall did in situ to extend the issues addressed in his geometric oils. In keeping with the spirit of the Rome exhibit, Westfall has designed a site-specific wall painting for the gallery as part of our installation here. This solo show, Westfall's second with us, was facilitated with the generous help of his New York representative Lennon, Weinberg to whom I am grateful.
