Stephen Lewontin

We are having a small exhibit of the work of Stephen Lewontin at work. He used to be a photo journalist (still is?) and starts painting using pastel lately.

As quoted from his web page "I'm currently working on a series of small pastels of imagined people in imagined landscapes. I like to think of these as illustrations for a story that I haven't gotten around to writing yet."

Pastel gives a softness to imagine, but his use of color gives the pictures lives.
