Stephen Dean
Stephen Dean is a self-taught French American artist based in New York City, whose interest spans watercolor, video and installation. His time-based works and installations summon physiological and anthropological approaches to color. Often working from existing forms or events, Dean focuses on the immediacy of color and it’s ability to precede language and cultural codes. With a sense of exploration, his contemplative and immersive works engage the chromatic spectrum as a spatial and social matter.
