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.
The Garden Gate
“The Garden Gate” was painted over several months in 1999. A large painting, at eight by ten feet, it was first hung in the lobby of the Sumitomo Corporation of America building at 600 3rd Avenue in New York. It was subsequently shown by the Durst Organization, where it hung on the massive west wall of the Condé Nast building lobby at 4 Times Square.
