Stephen Oldfield

Exhibition 5 - 26 August 2007

This one-man show of paintings by artist, Stephen Oldfield, offers a clear-cut peek at life.

Hanging in the Kiln House Gallery this month is a series of small oil paintings. Stephen describes familiar daily scenes with a humorous edge and depicts his self portraits with a sense of liberation and vulnerability.

Stephen is an uncomplicated artist with a straightforward outlook on our world, which emerges in his paintings.

I'm not so sure that Steven would describe himself as uncomplicated. Much of his work is non-representational, and has primarily an emotional or situational focus. Even his landscapes and sea scapes tend to address the particularity of the event that the artwork articulates rather than a more naive attempt to capture the look of a given view.
