The Waxford Girl

“Stella is a revolutionary: fearless, persistent, stubborn, but always original. While his art is inspired by—and even embraces—influences from literature, music, science, history, and current events, his project is singular and herculean: the interrogation and reinvention of painting for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.”
