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.
"What's at Stake" by Stephen Namara is painted on a shoe box template and is watercolor on paper. The art measures 25 x 23 inches unframed and professionally framed in maple measuring 32 x 29 1/2 inches. The piece is ready to hang and enjoy for a lifetime. Proudly presented by Andra Norris Gallery

Stephen Namara
Stephen Namara is an American Contemporary figurative artist born in 1953. He is known for creating skillful drawings and paintings of people, still-life objects and contemporary landscapes and has been exhibiting in the U.S. since 1980 while evolving his unique style. His masterful drawing abilities, together with his involved research into his subjects, have enabled Namara to produce a highly acclaimed body of work that is held in major corporate, state and university collections, and he is the recipient of numerous, important drawing prizes. Namara’s images are often autobiographical snapshots of moments in his life, and they speak directly to viewers without the need for words. The work provides space within which we can experience our own mental and emotional reactions to the images, forms and movements, without the need for academic explanation. The non-narrative imagery that he employs enables our attention to dwell on the formal and material aspects of the art, and this encourages a reflective approach to our perceptions.
