Raised without a television in rural Virginia, Brooklyn artist Randall Stoltzfus makes richly textured paintings that slowly unfurl into deeply receding landscapes. His work has been shown in New York, Virginia, Washington DC, and in Italy, where he was an artist in residence at an active insane asylum.
Death and the Maiden
“The Maiden” is a small panel that was begun during a residency at the Millay Colony in 1999 and finished five years later at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in 2004. Part of the original inspiration came from a series of polaroids made a year or so earlier.
