“Currently, the body of work I am creating addresses paintings as ornament— looking at stock subject matter often seen in mass-produced art found in retail stores. The work distills, consolidates, and appropriates the overwhelming amount of generic design aesthetic in the commercial decor market. One area I look to emphasize is the commercial world’s quotation of art history and how that changes the general perception of past art and ideas." - Stephen D'Onofrio
