Here’s a bit of progress on this one. Remember what it looked like before? Well, here it is now. It’s not a big change, but what with the holidays and feeling as if I’d rather hide in a dungeon than open my eyes most days lately, I figure any progress is good.
Hope you’re all enjoying your days more than a sharp stick in the eye and fingers crossed for a positive start to this next year!
Love and MOREFRACKINGDAYLIGHTPLEASE!

Oozing WIP Update: Round 2

Posted in Art, Painting, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, details, icky, Painting, sculpture, steph gerolimatos, texture on March 5, 2011 by ssstephgRemember a couple of weeks back when I said I thought I’d finished something and I might be posting photos of it when it finally dried? Well here it is.
acrylic and mixed media on 3/4 inch board
17 x 10 inches
and it measures about 3 inches at the deepest part
I had a bitch of a time getting a decent photo of it. This was the best I could do. It’s not quite accurate in terms of color and value, and I think it’s a little hard to read spatially. There are lots of thick, glossy transparent layers–hard stuff to photograph. I’ll add detail shots after the jump to give a better idea what it looks like in real life. Reproduction issues aside, this is representative of the direction I’m heading in now. Any and all comments welcome and appreciated, even hating. Read more »
Will You Build Me A Frankenstein With Your Mind?
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, Painting, process, sculpture, steph gerolimatos, stephg, texture, wip, Work in Progress on February 26, 2011 by ssstephgC’mon, it’ll be a good creative exercise. Try piecing all these images together and see what you come up with. They’re a bunch of closeup shots of art I’m working on right now.
Shiny and New! Work in progress is now “Alluvium”
Posted in Art, Painting, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags acrylic, Alluvium, Art, Painting, Stephanie Gerolimatos, stephg, texture on April 17, 2010 by ssstephgYeah. All freaking titled and everything. Here it is competed.
Alluvium
48 x 24 x 2 inches deep
acrylic on pine-cradled masonite panel with a big hole through the top and cellophane sandwiched between frosted plexiglass behind the hole
I’ll post a couple of detail photos after the jump.
You can click on the photo to see it bigger. If you’re interested in seeing process shots from along the way, I’ve been posting them as I worked here and here and here. Finishing this was a bit of a pain in the butt. I had an idea of what I wanted to happen behind the hole but my attempts kept falling short. In the last couple of days, I changed my mind a handful of times and there were a number of fruitless trips to drug stores and art supply shops. I can’t tell you how many times I assembled and reassembled various combinations of materials behind that hole. It was a little like the story of Goldilocks and the three bears–everything I tried was just too something or other. In the end, I went back to the original idea and my final trip was to the hardware store right around the corner where, of course, I found exactly what I needed. Yay!
Happy Endings to you all! What? I didn’t mean that, you bunch of perverts! I meant happy endings like I’m happy about how this piece has ended. But whatever you’re in the mood for I guess. Good luck finding it!

Holey WIP Update

Here’s how the work in progress is coming along. The photos will enlarge if you click them, and I think it’s worth it to get a better idea of what it really looks like. It’s not just flat illusion. There’s thick impasto and that’s a big hole through the panel. In the first picture you can see out my studio window through the hole which is a little confusing visually. I put a clean masonite panel behind it in the other photos which hopefully makes things easier to read. The images are in sequential order. The last one is the piece in it’s current state. It’s not finished yet. I expect there will be plenty more progress shots in future posts.
Alrighty then, I’m out like the vicar in a tutu. Big love to you all!

Miles to go but here are some more tight-cropped views of the same acrylic on metal piece I showed you last week. Now, who’ll be the first to tell me they liked it better before? There may be a prize involved! Line forms to the right. No pushing, no cutting!

Round Things Roll (and I roll with ‘em)
Posted in Art, Painting, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, circle, encaustic, Painting, round things, steph gerolimatos, texture on September 26, 2009 by ssstephgSo I was looking back through some older photos of art I’ve made and I realized I’ve been on this circle kick for a while now. Here’s a handful of roly-poly stuff.
I gave these two pieces to my friends Christine and Sarah a few Christmases ago. They’re both about four or five inches square (the paintings, not the friends), encaustic on all rag board, plus wire in that second one.

The two below are both encaustic and wire on birch plywood, tiny–about 2 inches square. I gave these to my friends Dan and Shana.
And this next one I gave to my sister, Sam. It’s about, oh… I dunno. Let’s say it’s about 7 Read more »

Archive & Archived–From The Archive
Posted in Art, Painting, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, nails, oil paint, Painting, sculpture, steph gerolimatos, texture on August 1, 2009 by ssstephgPlease excuse the dorky post title.
I made both of these paintings a few years back. Lately, I’ve been revisiting this series because it feels like I’m starting to bridge the gap between the work I’m doing now and this stuff. I’m pretty happy about that, and hopefully, it won’t be too long before I have something new to illustrate what I’m talking about.

In these works I’ve pared things down to what feels most essential to me–simplified composition, field of texture, one basic sculptural element and a mostly monochromatic palette I work up from multiple layers that get closer and closer to the final color as the work nears completion.
