His work is an eyeglass through which you can view a glimpse of the artist. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, moved to Hollywood, Florida in 1983 where he became a full-time artist. Presently, he resides in Delray Beach, Florida. Married with three children & four grandchildren. As a child magicians fascinated him and magic acts and the illusion they created, that vivid sense of illusion has become the central focus of his work. His acrylic-painted canvases and wood constructions are based on pure geometric and chromatic abstractions. Slutsky’s works of art create the illusion of movement and three - dimensionality. He achieves these effects by juxtaposing hard-edged color patterns that disrupt the normal process of vision. The artist depends on subtle color gradations, systematic chromatic harmonics lines that are painted by his steady hand - eye co-ordination. The artist’s remarkable craftsmanship and self-imposed standards of quality allow his ideas to leap off the artwork into the viewer’s mind, with little interference as possible from technical necessities. Without exception, he presents his subject’s inexhaustible variations, reconfiguring simple shapes and primary colors in order to deliver an element of refreshing surprise. All of his creative output is thoroughly investigated and arrived at through a self-examining trail-and-error process. The artist pushes to the edge, following the muse of innovation, uneasy with any leveling off or plateau. He finds contentment only by refusing to be content. This inspiration is not a place to arrive at or to be, but more an activity on a path. It is a spiritual endeavor. They do not make any more geometric shapes, and it has been said there is nothing new under the sun, but because Stanford Slutsky believes that the human mind is endless, he keeps reaching out to better share those ideas that fascinate him so. |
