All Day, 2024
Oil on canvas
60 x 48 in 152.4 x 121.9 cm
Eric Stefanski's "All Day" presents the titular phrase rendered in his characteristic gestural style, the words emerging from a ground of layered pigment that speaks to duration and persistence. The canvas, measuring sixty by forty-eight inches, gives the text room to breathe while maintaining an intimate confrontation with the viewer. Stefanski's brushwork carries the weight of repetition—the phrase itself suggests an unbroken stretch of time, a commitment or exhaustion that loops back on itself. The oil medium marks a departure or expansion from his established acrylic practice, allowing for richer blending and a surface that holds light differently, with greater depth and luminosity in the color fields surrounding the letterforms. The emotional register here sits somewhere between declaration and plea. "All Day" could be boastful, a claim of endurance and capability, or it could read as weariness, the monotony of hours that refuse to end. Stefanski leaves this tension unresolved, trusting the viewer to bring their own temporal anxieties or triumphs to the work. The scale demands physical presence—standing before it, one feels addressed directly, implicated in whatever "all day" means in this moment. Within Stefanski's broader practice, the piece continues his investigation of language as emotional residue, words stripped from their original contexts and redeposited on canvas where they accumulate new meaning. The phrase becomes a container for collective experience, simultaneously specific and universal. For acquisition inquiries regarding "All Day," interested collectors are encouraged to contact Guy Hepner gallery in New York.

Eric Stefanski is a Chicago based artist known for large scale abstract paintings that incorporate bold, handwritten text. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned his MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 2015.
Stefanski's work merges expressive mark making with direct, often humorous or self-deprecating phrases, using language as a way into larger themes around vulnerability, failure, and the pressures of maintaining a creative practice. His large-scale canvases favor vibrant color and bold lettering, with text functioning less as slogan and more as fragments of internal dialogue, blending humor with genuine emotional weight. Through this approach, Stefanski examines what it means to sustain a life as a working artist, treating uncertainty and contradiction as part of the process rather than something to resolve.
His work has been shown extensively in Chicago and Boston, along with solo exhibitions in cities including Tokyo and Madrid, and has continued to expand into galleries and institutions internationally.
He continues to live and work in Chicago.
