There’s nothing decorative about Eric Stefanski’s work — and that’s the point.Using bold text, crude gestures, and humorous yet disillusioned phrases, Stefanski confronts the very meaning (and absurdity) of being an artist today.
There’s nothing decorative about Eric Stefanski’s work — and that’s the point.Using bold text, crude gestures, and humorous yet disillusioned phrases, Stefanski confronts the very meaning (and absurdity) of being an artist today.
His canvases look like confessions, written with sarcasm, wine, and vulnerability. “I’m trying to make something beautiful out of failure,” he once said — and somehow, he does.Stefanski’s work doesn’t seek perfection.
It seeks truth, however raw, clumsy or loud. Whether he’s painting “I’m too broke to be humble” or “All my ideas are bad,” his pieces resonate because they’re fearlessly human.This is not just contemporary art — it’s existential comedy with acrylic and wood panels.
