My very last stop of the weekend at Stephen Truax’s home/studio at Irving and Greene — which for BOS he shared with colleague Brooke Moyse — was a personal highlight. I first met Stephen when he was exhibiting at Norte Maar during BETA Spaces last fall, and I made a special point to stop in and see more of his work this weekend. In the hallway connecting his railroad "wings" were gorgeous collage prints of "photo errors" taken in his travels to Italy and India — the technical process of which I was quickly told is a secret. Stephen explained that his digital work informs his paintings (on view in his studio), multicolored geometric gouache-on-stretched-paper pieces based on 8-bit videogames and classic quilt patterns. Finally, in the main gallery space (which normally doubles as the living room), his latest work was exhibited — ultra-bright digital prints, the offspring of his collages and his paintings.

Visit Stephen’s website for more of his work and mark your calendars: he has a solo exhibition scheduled at Norte Maar in February 2010.
