Moving Carbon @ Seven Below Gallery

Stephen Frew‘s work has long been characterized by strong, expressive linework. With Moving Carbon, Frew presents a series of emotive figurative pieces on wood, canvas and paper that feature his signature mark making. These engaging pieces are intended to be felt, not thought, emphasizing the simplicity and purity of the human form.

The title of the show refers to both the carbon-based materials used in the prominent line work, as well as the subjects themselves who are carbon-based. The subjects are still, even introspective, but built from expressive lines that bring movement and life to the image. The result is intended to elicit emotion, thus moving the viewer.
