BRIAN KEITH STEPHENS is an American painter.
Stephens began artistic studies in his native Connecticut, continued in Paris and New York, to return full circle to the rural studio in Old Lyme.
Nostalgia, nature, romance inform a simplicity of subject matter; however, the emotional and physical breadth of each piece resonates in the layers upon contrasting layers of paint. The resulting works show both the direct energy of the artist’s hand while revealing the story of the artist’s heart. A distinctive painter with a quiet, gentle and searching presence, Brian Keith Stephens works celebrate the innocence of the child within while documenting the passions and conflicts we grow into.
Over the past 20 years Stephens has exhibited in Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Italy and across the US.
