Born in South Los Angeles, it would not be until the isolation of the COVID Pandemic that Shane A. Stahl would begin to explore various methods of painting.
With nods to influences like Rothko and Kandinsky, Shane’s works are concentrated on exploring emotional abstraction through combinations of glues and pastes.
"My hope is to add texture and shape to emotional depth."
Resonating with universal themes, and working from lived experience, the title of each piece is snipped from newspaper headlines.
Each painting is developed with the aid of a Spotify playlist, and most are completed with accompanying poetry or prose.
Shane has called San Diego, CA home for the better part of 20 years. His new studio is located in the community of Logan Heights - San Diego, CA.
