Stephen Tanis
American artist, born 1945
The construction of a painting—the application of the medium, the balance of light, the handling of color, and the tension between the people or objects on the canvas—are important aspects of Tanis' practice. The artist's expert handling of these technical concerns result in psychologically-charged images of still lifes, figures, and old master paintings.
