About the Item

'Skyline Road' is Thiebaud and Diebenkorn-esq with its broad, steep street inspired by the unique light and hills of Northern California. Highly contemporary landscape with a jolt of urbana by way of steel and asphalt over rolling hills. Simple, elegant palette of green's and grey's that features a provocative bent pole and street sign. Mysterious imagery that bridges representational landscape with Magic Realism. The oil on canvas painting is 48 x 48 inches. Singed and dated verso by Namara. Kenyan-born African American artist Stephen Namara, who is known for creating skillful drawings and paintings of people, still life objects, and contemporary landscapes, has been exhibiting in the U.S. since 1980 while evolving his unique style. His masterful drawing abilities, together with his involved research into his subjects, has enabled Namara to produce a highly acclaimed body of work that is held in major corporate, state, and university collections, and he is the recipient of numerous, important drawing prizes. Namara’s images are often autobiographical “snapshots” of moments in his life, and they speak directly to viewers without the need for words. The work provides space within which we can experience our own mental and emotional reactions to the images, forms, and movements, without the need for academic explanation. The non-narrative imagery that he employs enables our attention to dwell on the formal and material aspects of the art, and this encourages a reflective approach to our perceptions.
