Geoffrey Stein is a self-proclaimed 男女操逼视频软件渞ecovering lawyer男女操逼视频软件 who has been painting full-time since 2000. He received his law degree from Albany Law School in 1986, then clerked for an appellate court and practiced reinsurance litigation work for Lloyd's of London and London Market Reinsurers at Sheft & Sheft, Ober|Kaler, and later with Mendes & Mount.He says his background as a lawyer has had a huge influence on his work, both on the process and subject matter. 男女操逼视频软件淭he organizational and critical skills required in the legal world are incredibly helpful to have when working in the more nebulous and open-ended realm of the art world. The skills necessary to organize a brief or conduct discovery translate easily to complex art projects, which often involve numerous people and more writing then I ever imagined,男女操逼视频软件 says Stein. 男女操逼视频软件淎lso, there was a strange, but nice, thing I noticed when returning to art school as an allegedly 男女操逼视频软件渕ature男女操逼视频软件 student: I was not seeking the teachers' approval, but rather simply trying to engage them in a dialogue about the work.男女操逼视频软件
Stein男女操逼视频软件檚 work stems from his interest in the political, financial and media worlds. He calls himself a 男女操逼视频软件渃onceptual portrait painter男女操逼视频软件 using snippets of text and photographs as the basis of his art to create the subject男女操逼视频软件檚 likeness and evoke meaning. His subjects include: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Queen Elizabeth, Anthony Fauci, Kamala Harris, presidents, financial icons, comics and more.
男女操逼视频软件淚t was a natural direction for me to try and make work about actors in these worlds, both those I admire and those I don男女操逼视频软件檛,男女操逼视频软件 Stein says. 男女操逼视频软件淚ncreasingly, though, I am most interested in figures whom I admire and provide some hope in this difficult time. For instance, my portrait of A.O.C. was done with copies of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's powerful speech on the House floor addressing Rep. Ted Yoho's awful comments about her. I hope I captured some of her passion and strength in my portrait.男女操逼视频软件
Stein looks forward to engaging students, faculty and staff in dialog while he works. 男女操逼视频软件The point of any artist residency is to take one out of their everyday world, their comfort zone, and shake things up,男女操逼视频软件 adds Stein. 男女操逼视频软件淚 have not been in a law school on a regular basis since graduating 35 years ago. I hope that being at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law for a year will help me look at my work in new ways and inspire me to go in unimagined directions.男女操逼视频软件
