Stephen Basso Still-life Drawings and Watercolors
American, b. 1953
Stephen Basso's highly original pastels and oil paintings are romantic yet thought provoking fables. His whimsical works are alive with boundless imagination wry wit and fearless color. Mr. Basso's works evoke a high level of inquiry. The fanciful yet keenly observed characters are unpredictable and evocative. The viewer vacillates between surprised delight and consternation, A Brooklyn native much of Basso's art has been inspired by travel to Jamaica Puerto Rico and in particular Mexico blended with is urban New York experience.
By in large Basso is self taught ( after initially attending the School of Visual Arts for illustration he came to the conclusion painting was more engaging ) Seeking emotional honesty he has looked to the work of several mentors notably Max Beckmann Willem de Kooning Goya Marsden Hartley and Albert Pinkham Ryder to name a few...artists that speak to the human condition
