DAMIAN STAMER, ‘South Lowell 6’, 2013. oil on panel, 18 x 24 in.
($4,500)

the subject of the work, broken down to the ultimate bottomline, was . . the ‘work’, or ‘mark’ of time on old southern architecture, expressed thru the ‘work’ or ‘mark’ of the artist . . ranging thru the extreme ends of the drawing spectrum, that is, from realist . . to far-out flung wide, decomposed expressionism.
all composed in monotone, and yet very very dynamic.
very very romantic.
