Stephen Bron (Gurtowski)
Dancing Barefoot

August 28 - September 17, 2020

Dancing Barefoot is a collection of new oil paintings on linen made in late 2019 and 2020. Juxtaposing large swaths of brushed color, finely detailed figures, and his characteristic use of the untouched canvas as light, Stephen Bron Gurtowski creates paintings that oscillate in the liminal space between abstraction and figuration. Sourcing images from old books and magazines, his own photographs of nature and his domestic life, and the realm of the imagination, Gurtowski’s paintings are an amalgamation of the dream world and the everyday. Gurtowski crafts worlds where naked boys dance barefoot, where flowers might be as big as trees, where bear cubs watch over beautiful rebels, and where an out-of-time woman might burst forth fully formed from a figure sleeping in grass as butterflies flit about. Abstraction and Figuration. The Past and The Present. The Mundane and the Fantastic. All these elements combine to create his idiosyncratic and colorful Queer fables.
Stephen Bron Gurtowski [b. 1993] is a painter living and working in Brooklyn. He studied painting and printmaking, receiving his BFA from Cooper Union, attended Yale Norfolk Summer School, and received an MFA in Painting from NYU.
