Original Contemporary Abstract Paintings
Stephanie Massaux is a New York City based artist whose paintings incorporate a variety of textures, colors, and diverse layers, which alternate consecutive, conscious, deliberate, and unpredictable interventions. Her paintings develop intuitively, and appeal to the tactile dimension of perception.
The material of her work is obtained primarily by the use and subtle mixture of highly pigmented oil paint and cold wax. This medium allows her paintings to evolve through complex processes of superimposition, using additive and subtractive techniques throughout their creation.
Massaux’s poetic palettes and innovative surface treatments often borrow from the beauty of aged surfaces, weathering, and abrasions left visible by the scouring of time.
She draws inspiration from the conscious and unconscious mind, and the urban environment in which she resides.
