About the Item
When I think about the conventions of painting -- a tradition I respect immensely -- I notice that my concern has always been with the interplay of light and structure" says artist Stephen Magsig. "Light, since it defines everything, is what my work is about -- how light changes things, how it inflects the surfaces of places we imagine for ourselves and inhabit, like sunlight touching a window sill, illuminating and creating contrasts and shadows."
Working with images he personally photographs, Magsig looks for crucial details in both the highlights and the shadows, in the brightness and obscurity of each scene. The artist says, "I get caught up in the mix of organic and non-organic human signs: the color of loaves of bread in an Italian bakery window, the reflections of facades in the car’s windshield, the abstracted angles of cornices and architectural detail." New Yorkers will recognize many of the scenes Magsig paints, yet the universal appeal is the atmosphere and mood which attracts those for whom the images hold no personal significance. The painterly quality of the work provides enough photo-like detail to "slow people down to look and wonder about the scene." The artist creates work that depicts New York City as a dynamic metropolis -- although his images are devoid of people. The appreciation Magsig holds for the subjects he paints allows him to create beauty in streets that may escape even those of us who live there.
Stephen Magsig lives and works in Detroit, Michigan. Magsig has exhibited nationally and has been reviewed in major publications. The artist’s work is included in many prominent private, corporate and museum collections. This is the second solo exhibition for the artist at the George Billis Gallery. Magsig was featured in Art and Antiques Magazine, October, 2001 issue.

The Charmer, Painting, Oil on Canvas
By Grace Diehl
Located in Yardley, PA
Crystal Cove in Newport, California is a popular destination for plein air artists, known for its rustic setting along the 12-mile coast. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery and boasts crystal-clear water, making it the perfect setting for a painting. I was especially drawn to Crystal Cove for its unique combination of scenic beauty and recreational activities. Snorkelers and scuba divers can often be seen exploring the waters, and the beach is a popular spot for walkers and sunbathers. I enjoyed walking the beach, taking in the sights and sounds of this special place. The sound of the waves, combined with the salty ocean air, was invigorating and helped me focus on my work. One of the highlights of painting Crystal Cove was capturing the charming, old-world atmosphere of the beach cottages that line the shore. These cottages, with their weathered wood and colorful shutters, add character and history to the landscape and make for an interesting subject to paint. Painting at Crystal Cove was a wonderful experience. I was able to capture the beauty and magic of this special place and share it with others through my art. Whether you're a local or a visitor, I hope my paintings inspire you to appreciate the charm and beauty of Crystal Cove in Newport, California.
