BIO:
Stef Duffy was born in New York, NY, and studied illustration, figurative painting, sculpture and ceramics at Parsons, FIT, Skidmore and NYAA.
Drawing inspiration from both the mannerist and surrealist school while utilizing traditional classical Dutch and Venetian techniques, his paintings are contemporary allegories layered with satirical references to fashion, commodification, sexuality and class. Satire and provocation are tools of investigation, antagonizing current cultural conflicts of classical vs abstract, self vs other, model vs monster, and secular vs spiritual. Often the subjects of his paintings are caught in a moment of dynamic intimacy, under some sort of stress, recognition, or surveillance, and the viewer is cast as voyeur, witness or spy.
Studio visits are available and by appointment at Mana Contemporary.

- Zoë Powell, Ceramic Vessel 07, Perianth Series, 2021By Zoë PowellLocated in Brooklyn, NYTitle: Perianth 07 Year: 2021 Freeform ceramic sculpture made from a blend of porcelaneous and stoneware clays hand-collected by the artist in Minnesota. Its surface is hand-polished with diamond sandpaper to render a matte finish. Signed with the artist’s mark along the interior rim. Each piece is original and one of a kind. The forms in this collection are influenced by botanical morphology - specifically, the ‘perianth’ or floral envelope, whose petals serve to protect the most sensitive part of the plant before the eventual dispersal of the fruit’s seed. Powell’s sculptures seek to evoke a similar feeling of comfort and protection, serving as reminders of another time, both past and future, when one's family is close and the world feels safe, offering an escape from the ephemerality of the present which can leave one feeling vulnerable and exposed. The Perianth series functions both as a personal etiology for the artist and as a broader exploration of the universal themes of nostalgia, sentimentality, and familial memory In terms of process, Powell is interested in manipulating material into something it essentially is not - shaping crude, raw clay, still studded with naturally occurring sands and stones, into incredibly delicate forms. The resulting pieces are light and elegant — impossibly thin and balanced in surprising ways. Each sculpture’s surface, riddled with scrapes and craters, is astonishingly soft and sensuous to the touch and each piece feels precious in such a finessed and attenuated state. This concept of defied expectations extends beyond the physical properties of the work in that Powell is also investigating the mutability of perception, specifically in terms of Perianth’s overarching nostalgia and memory themes - - the present is intimidating in its authenticity, with no space for embellishment or fantasy, while memories of, and the subsequent yearning for, an era, place or person can become nebulous and fictionalized with distance and time. In this way, the works in this series act as physical manifestations of the unanticipated and misremembered. - - - - - - - - - - - - ABOUT THE ARTIST: Zoë Powell...Category
