Stephen Westfall's Asymmetrical Paintings at Lennon, Weinberg Mark Departure from Pattern

From May 12 to July 29, 2016, Stephen Westfall showcased five medium-sized paintings at Lennon, Weinberg, Inc., marking a shift from his usual symmetrical designs. Situated at 514 West 25 Street, New York City, these pieces displayed asymmetrical forms inspired by his 2014 mural-scale work at Art OMI in Ghent, New York. The exhibition featured diamond shapes that echoed harlequin patterns, each shape in a single color, with white diamonds enhancing the interplay of figure and ground. "The Future Advances and Recedes" (2015) included a central diamond surrounded by four smaller ones, while "Delta" (2015) was presented in a slender vertical format. Westfall's creations embodied an evolved modernism while retaining a striking and engaging painting style.
