This - 16"x20" Oils, Acrylics on Canvas painting by Stephen Stocklin features a cluster of organic, stone-like forms rendered in rich, earthy tones—deep teal, charcoal black, dusty purple, olive green, navy blue, burgundy, ochre, and rust orange. Each form is outlined with dark edges and marked with delicate circular scratches or linear marks, suggesting worn surfaces or ancient marks. The shapes are arranged diagonally across a pale gray-blue ground with subtle textural variations and ghosted rectangular forms in soft pinks and browns that create depth and history beneath the bold foreground elements.
The painting evokes the weight of relationships and connections—how individual identities, each with their own color and character, come together and touch, creating a constellation of interdependence. The stones suggest endurance and permanence, yet their arrangement feels precarious, reminding us that every connection requires balance and that what holds us together is both solid and fragile, shaped by time and proximity into something greater than its parts.
