Stef Duffy "The Dorchester, Room 5420", Oil Painting on Masonite, 2015

About the Item

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. "The Dorchester, Room 5420", an earlier work from 2015, is artist owned and loosely inspired by the disturbing innuendos surrounding the late Barbara Baekeland and her son, Antony. Title: The Dorchester, Room 5420 24x36"/Oil on Masonite signed verso Provenance: Artist owned. 2016.
