Oil on linen
David Stanger undertook a BFA in painting at Syracuse University and an MFA at the Hoffberger School of Painting at Maryland Institute College of Art. His work has been seen in numerous group exhibitions and publications in the United States including being a finalist in the portrait category of the Annual Painting Competition of the Artist’s Magazine in 2013 to 2016.
The portrait is of Jerome Witkin who, as both an artist and teacher, shaped Stanger’s early life as an artist. Stanger made the portrait in a series of sittings at Witkin’s home and was able to reflect on how the portrait expressed the intertwining of the men’s artistic and professional lives.
