Artwork of the Day: “En Arriere” by Stephanie Kristofic

"En Arriere," by Stephanie Kristofic, Booth# S156

Today’s Artwork of the Day is “En Arriere,” an abstract by Artexpo New York 2010 exhibitor Stephanie Kristofic.

Stéphanie Kristofic has always been fascinated by the human body and its movement. That’s why she often paints with live, dancing models nearby, hoping to generate “an instantaneous encounter” between the live bodies of dancers and the canvas.

“I’m trying to understand the human condition, in questioning myself about the relation between the body and the way it moves. I am a soul and live inside a body, which is my only means to connect to the world and with other people. Everything between us happens through it, however I wonder how what we are inside appears outside, and how to catch that—how to transcend body and see our specific identity.”
