About the Item

Stephen Namara's work is a testament to technical mastery and emotional depth. His artistic execution showcases a level of skill that is both rare and commanding. His ability to render form, light, and atmosphere is unparalleled, lending his works of art a remarkable realism that coexists with an aura of quiet introspection. His portraits, often shrouded in mystery, evoke a haunting presence. Faces are rendered with such subtle complexity that they draw viewers into a lasting contemplative engagement. Namara's command of technique serves to deepen the psychological resonance of his subjects, many of which are born from the artist’s imagination. Namara’s paintings and mixed media works, particularly his still lifes and figures, possess a subdued, almost melancholic tone. These works resemble fragments of memory, “snapshots” that suspend time. The feeling of isolation that pervades many of his compositions does not alienate the viewer. Instead, it invites a personal dialogue with the image. By avoiding overt narrative, Namara leaves space for individual emotional interpretation and creates a universal connection through his intimate, moody aesthetic. The "Snip" by Stephen Namara is dry pigment on paper. The art measures 29 x 41 inches unframed and professional framed in a maple frame measuring 36 x 48 inches. The piece is ready to hang and enjoy for a lifetime. Proudly presented by Andra Norris Gallery
