Stephen Remick is painter who lives in Dartmouth, MA and maintains a studio in New Bedford. His paintings are mostly based on landscape color and forms. Some skirt the boundary between abstraction and representation. A new series has been inspired by the poetry of Robert Frost.

"I work mainly from the landscape. A few years ago the work evolved to a more abstracted, emotional level. Forms and colors derived from land and open air took on characteristics and relationships with each other, mirroring human relations and states of mind.

"Recent paintings have been inspired by the writing of Robert Frost. (The series seen here is from the poem "Mending Wall".) Growing up in rural Vermont and maturing as an artist allowed me a deep connection to what Frost wrote. Not just to the surface imagery but the deeper, complex connections to our lives and analogies those situations triggered.

"My goal is to take a sincere, honest look at the surroundings and actions in my life and translate them through vernacular imagery that can be understood and appreciated universally.

"I'd also like this work to fit into the history of art with a contribution that others recognize and from which are able to advance."
