About the Artist: 

Brooklyn-based painter, sculptor and arts writer Stephan Fowlkes gives new meaning to "going against the grain." In woodwork, his primary medium, Fowlkes crafts colorful, mesmerizing forms from wood and found objects - often reclaimed from dumpsters and other unlikely sources. His spirited, energetic techniques transform the discarded into provocative pieces with both real and imagined past lives. Using the universal language of geometry, he aims to translate and break down his personal experiences, observations and interactions into an aesthetic vocabulary -- forms which can be understood, interpreted and internalized by all. The recipient of many distinguished awards and fellowships, Stephan's amazing artwork has been enjoyed at a multitude of solo and group shows.
