About the artist - in 1989 Stephens jettisoned a corporate career to make his living as an artist. In the years that followed, a growing circle of galleries and collectors were drawn to David's work.
In the spring of 1996, he and his wife Sylvia opened a gallery "Savage Contemporary Fine Art in Carmel, California. Since opening, the gallery maintained the original vision and values: to show and sell unique contemporary paintings and sculptures that blend the abstract and the figurative to express archetypal themes.
According to David: "First and foremost, I am a colorist. I am naturally inclined towards an exploratory, emotional approach because, for me, color connotes a sense of spiritual energy and centeredness. Additionally, many of my images contain spatial elements and movement which lends a sense of expansion. Line, form, and texture also help shape my interpretive, light-filled paintings." See less
