BIO
All of his images are tied together by a sensuality of brushstroke. He limits his palette to evoke spare, almost graphic forms, as color in itself and line have a resonance and symbolism for Stabbert.
Even when he paints a recognizable image there is a blurring into abstraction.
Born in Red Bank in 1959, Stabbert is a self-taught painter. He documents the people in his life, both past and present, a vase of flowers in his home, travels to Europe, and the beach.
His art has been displayed at BRIANRILEY1PROJECTS, New York; Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts, New York; Susan Berke Fine Arts in Red Bank, APEX Gallery, Asbury Park.
As a painter, my intent is an expression of peaceful sensuality.
A limited palette, leaning toward pink and just the right blue, blurs the line between the feminine side of what is masculine.
For the viewer, I would hope for a knowing smile, perhaps a shared journey of having been there at a moment of their own.
Childlike sophistication, whimsical, and naïve are words used to describe my work by others.
On a larger scale, I wish to convey the constancy of love, desire, and nature.
