San Antonio-based
Augusto Di Stefano uses deliberate marks on canvas and paper to
create images that express emotional and physical boundaries. Each painting is sprayed with
moody shades of ochre or black before the strategic application of thick impasto marks. The effect suggests, but does not create,
untethered, isolated place. His drawings are similarly
minimal and haunting. In them one impossibly small pencil stroke builds upon the next to form
architectural fragments floating, alone, in fields of white. – Kate Green
