Stephen’s Works

unknowing …

It is always difficult to know what to say about one’s work, and I guess that is the point; the harder it becomes in knowing what to write or say about a direction of travel might just reveal that something worthwhile is taking place; to quote Guston, ‘the only things you can really talk about in painting are impossible to talk about’. The intention has always been for the work to remain open so it may engage different things to different people. These paintings are a sample of work made from 2020 to 2023 whilst I was renovating the farmhouse and building the studios. They are presented seasonally relevant to when they commenced, evolved or began to settle.

A new website dedicated to my work made from 2023/24 onwards can now be viewed at stephenswindells.com There is a little overlap between the websites regarding works made between 2023/24 as some paintings and drawings have been re-worked.
