Art is created for a purpose and at is most fundamental level the artist
core goals are either to communicate, exemplify an idea
or emotion, to suggest change or some combination of
these. At its simplest, art is a form of
communication.
Mood art is an
expression of the emotions, moods and feelings that live within
us through this shared human experience. Stephen uses his
canvas's to exemplify the complexity, diversity and the
attempted opaqueness that is expressed within himself
as well as others. Life is rarely simple and we show the
world outside world a simpler and straightforward version of who
we are than what is inside us.
Stephen's pieces are created to evoke different feelings,
perspectives and moods when with different at different
times. Mood art will move a viewer in a different fashion
and it will change as a viewers mood
changes.
"[Art is a set of] artefacts or images with
symbolic meanings as a means of communication." -Steve
