Stephen Namara, an artist influenced by his childhood in East Africa and Missouri, creates work that delves into the emotions of navigating life amidst turmoil. His art, shaped by personal experiences and inspirations from artists like Charles White, employs minimalist materials to symbolize the struggle against human emotions such as anxiety and grief. Namara appreciates San Francisco's small but vibrant art community, which fosters relationships and creativity, valuing both collaboration and the artistic lineage of the region.
In the world of art where a bit of knowledge can sometimes be stretched a bit too far, I'm glad to say that my experience seems to bring me more rewards than my knowledge.
I love the generosity of the artists, particularly the distinguished elders. I like knowing people around me. The art world here is still mercifully small.
