Stanley Bielen, Spring Air, 2023
Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of new paintings by Stanley Bielen. This is his fifth exhibition with the gallery and features his intimate still life paintings. An artist reception will be held June 26th from 6-8pm.
Bielen’s process begins outside of the studio with planting the flowers he will later paint. He brings the clippings he cultivates to his studio and renders them in voluminous, rich brushwork. The blooms are typically painted at scale in one session, immortalizing them in that moment. Reveling in the paint itself, Bielen depicts the objects with a sense of immediacy, as if glimpsed and remembered in an instant.
