A course by Christopher Paul Stevens
Christopher Paul Stevens is a contemporary realist painter from Savannah, Georgia. He completed his MFA in painting in 2015. Stevens currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works full-time out of his studio. His artwork can be seen at galleries in New York, Dublin, Montreal, Portland, and Atlanta, and is featured in the Art Collection at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
His paintings capture the daily routines of 21st century Americans as they progress through their lives. By translating photographs of ordinary affairs into paintings, Stevens elevates the mundane to the monumental. His current work challenges contemporary expectations of art by exploring the relationship between painting and photography, focusing on pushing the boundaries of photorealism by exploring ways of capturing and manipulating the photograph.
