Abstraction, Figuration & the Spiritual David Stern: the American Years (1995-2008) February 4, 2009

David Stern was born in Essen, Germany. Since 1995 he has been living and working in New York City. Stern captures life's intensity on canvas, dealing mainly with urban themes, working to convey authentic energies in his paintings. His subjects include single and multiple figures working through their pain, their friendships and their crises. What excites Stern as a painter are not the objects themselves but the energies felt by those objects.
