The Critical Inquiry: Abstraction(s) colloquia from the Department of Art  presents: Gary Stephan.

Gary Stephan's work is usually labeled "abstract," even though he works from concrete images. His paintings employ motifs often derived from images in art history, details from famous paintings, and shapes he perceives in the world around him. Stephan was born in Brooklyn and is currently living in New York City. He studied at the Art Student's League, Parsons School of Design, and the Pratt Institute, all in New York. He earned his MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. Stephan's work is in the National Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Modern Art, amongst others.
