“What generally inspires me in my work is creating juxtapositions of form and color in space,” Luis Stephens wrote in his artist’s statement. “My paintings usually show realistic elements in an unrealistic setting with an emphasis on the spatial component between objects and forms.”

The impression of separate planes in space and other abstract qualities are what give each painting such visual impact, he wrote. Stephens said the process of inspecting each square centimeter of work is a daunting one, but that he does “not let up on any particular piece until it passes a personal visual judgment.”

“No matter what any particular painting may be about, this goal—achieving what the aesthetician Clive Bell calls significant form—remains uppermost in my thoughts,” Stephens wrote.
