View the show Stephen Datz: AFTERIMAGES on medicinemangallery.comI had Stephen Datz on the podcast today. It was interesting because this is not the normal podcast where I talk about somebody's life as I've done that with Stephen before (Epi. 43 &amp; 84). This podcast is about a show he had worked on for several years in the Grand Tetons. It was a prestigious plein-air show that he had helped start.Well, the show was canceled suddenly in 2019 and Stephen didn't get closure with this body of work. He wanted to show all these paintings, and enhance some of the ones he really hadn't finished yet. So he spent the time and energy to not only finish the paintings but to write an article about each one and then put it in book form.From a standpoint of "Is this a  financially smart thing to do?" I'd say maybe not. But from a creative standpoint, from an emotional, you know, seeking closure standpoint, it's exactly what art is about. He shows what he did, how he did it, why he did it, and he finished the paintings that never got finished.So it's a wonderful show. This is kind of a dated podcast in a weird way because it's really talking about a show opening on August 19, 2022, here at my Tucson gallery. This show happens to be getting memorialized in a book as well. It's always going to be out there as long as the books are out there and we go and talk about it all.Stephen C.

Stephen C. Datz: AFTERIMAGES - Epi. 207, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Stephen C. Datz paints the American Western landscape in his own clear voice. Strong, angular design, rich harmonious colors, and a striking interpretation of the landscape are hallmarks of Stephen’s style. It took hard work and determination on his part to get here. In this episode, Stephen talks about how his unique voice developed. He was frustrated by how unprepared he was to make a living in fine art after earning a BFA from Colorado State University. He flailed for a few difficult years as he tried to figure out how to thrive as a fine art painter. Stephen’s father encouraged him to take a workshop from artist Skip Whitcomb. It was just what he needed. That workshop opened his eyes to the value of painting outdoors and gave him access to real-world, practical business advice. But there was a problem. In seeking gallery representation, one gallery owner made a frank observation about Stephen’s work: his work was derivative, looking much like the paintings of his workshop instructors. Rather than be dismayed by the criticism, Stephen viewed it as an encouragement to allow his artistic voice to emerge with confidence. He made the determination to be true to himself and his vision. The result? A stunning body of work that is truly unique. And, galleries – including Mark Sublette’s Medicine Man Gallery – took note. Stephen’s love of the landscape remains strong. He frequently explores the western landscape near his home in Grand Junction, Colorado, with his plein air gear. If you are hiking deep in the high desert and red rock country of Colorado and Utah, it's possible you might just get a dazzling glimpse of Stephen C. Datz painting the rhythm and geometry of nature.
