OKAY Y’ALL BEEN SO PATIENT! Here is a little BTS of Stan Squirewell’s very first print “Chico and Charles Johnson” - still in process. This work is a mono print. What that means is that the artist is reworking each print with different fabrics and colors so no two are alike. WE ARE OBSESSED! Edition of 20. 43 x 27 inches with hand deckled edges. This work will be in our Harlem Gallery’s upcoming print exhibition opening in January, aptly titled “Change Makers” #stansquirewell #claireolivergallery #originalprints

Steve Wilson’s Derby party!🎉

Question #1, part 1

New things are always in my mind and in progress. When I’m done painting, her beautiful face will be revealed.

Please help me, help you so that we can help each other.

Stan Squirewell’s (@ssquirewell ) multidisciplinary practice spans painting, photography, installation, and performance. In works like those on view, the artist begins with vintage photographs—which he refers to as “vessels of cultural memory”—collected from museum archives and from friends and family. He then incorporates contemporary fabric into the images, along with additional elements of painting, photography, and collage. Squirewell describes this process of fusing past and present as “reaching back through history, creating a visual conversation with the often forgotten subjects of so many old photographs.” Each collage is set within a hand-carved frame treated using Shou Sugi Ban, a traditional Japanese wood-burning technique that preserves the wood. Bridging visual cultures across generations, Squirewell’s work challenges viewers to reflect on which histories are remembered, which are lost, and how they are reframed in contemporary culture.
