STEPH KRAWCHUK IS A CANADIAN ARTIST WITH A PRIMARY FOCUS ON ABSTRACT PAINTING. SHE LIVES IN SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN, AND IS REPRESENTED BY THE GALLERY / ART PLACEMENT.

“I’M JUST THINKING ABOUT THE SURFACE, THE PAINT, THE PAINT AS A MATERIAL, AS WELL AS A SUBJECT, WHICH INCLUDES COLOUR. NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO THINK THAT IS ENOUGH. SOME PEOPLE SEARCH FOR MORE. I’M ASKING PEOPLE REALLY TO LOOK AT THE PAINT AND THE SURFACE, AND WHAT FASCINATES ME IS TO TRY AND EVOKE, NOT A MEANING, BUT WHAT I DO FIND IS THAT WHEN A PAINTING DOES WORK FOR PEOPLE THEY CAN CONNECT IT TO A MEMORY OF A PLACE, WHICH IS TO ME IS SO FASCINATING, BECAUSE IT’S A CIRCLE, NOTHING MORE.” INTERVIEW WITH STEPH KRAWCHUK, 10011MAG, REBECCA LA MARRE, NEW YORK, NY.

“DEFYING ANY STRICT STYLISTIC LINEAGE, HER PAINTINGS ARE CONSISTENTLY FRESH AND UNEXPECTED. LIVELY, WHIMSICAL, COLOURFUL, AND DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN VISUAL LOGIC, KRAWCHUK'S ABSTRACT PAINTINGS NOW GIVE A MUCH CLEARER FOCUS TO THE INTERPLAY OF LINE, SHAPE, COLOUR AND TEXTURE THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE CORE OF HER ARTISTIC EXPLORATIONS.” THE GALLERY / ART PLACEMENT
