Landscapes
Stefan Kater
Stefan has developed an eye for painting elegant graphic design and fantastic three-dimensional compositions. Stefan’s painting is different from the 20th century’s modernism and avantgardism. He brings to his work tastes of Boomer pop art and shares much of the Z Millennials’ slick smoothness, bright hyper-realism, and reflective surfaces. Stefan’s aesthetic emerges from the combination of all these sources, making Stefan’s art extraordinarily fresh and new. Opening night, 4 May, 5pm–8pm.
