Stephen Paul Day is a Metamodernist artist whose creations merge the vocabulary of Modernism with the techniques of Postmodernism to tell powerful, engaging stories. Drawing inspiration from fairy tales, his masterfully crafted sculptures, skillfully executed paintings, and innovative glassworks explore themes like truth and deception, beauty and beastliness, and innocence lost. His work strikes a balance between sharp, biting commentary and whimsical beauty, creating art that is both provocative and enchanting.
Day’s career spans decades and continents. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and collaborated with renowned artists such as Jenny Holzer, William Wegman, and Deborah Butterfield. He has exhibited internationally in Paris, Japan, and Berlin, and his works are held in prestigious collections, including the Montreal Museum of Art and the Corning Museum.
Represented by the Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans and Galerie Hirschmann in Berlin, Stephen Paul Day continues to inspire through his solo works and collaborative projects, such as Club S+S with his wife, Sibylle Peretti.
