Profile of Stanley Tomshinsky



Stanley Tomshinsky was born in New York City on October 29th, 1935. After graduating New York University in l959, he left for Europe. After five years in Paris and various travels, he settled in Milan where he died on March 5th, 2004.

Over the years, his research encompassed: linear structures realized in three-dimensional and graphic mediums; paintings subjectively conceptualizing movements of energy, metaphysical symbolism, and personal totemism; the gradual transition from structural to pictorial, from conceptual to analogical. The paintings of the 1980's and 1990's are dream-like landscapes and figures.
