Oh My God I Don't Care About Your Feelings, 2023
Oil on canvas
44 x 34 in 111.8 x 86.4 cm
Unique
Eric Stefanski's *Oh My God I Don't Care About Your Feelings* delivers its message with the blunt force of an exasperated exhale. Rendered in oil on canvas, the work presents its titular phrase as both subject and surface, transforming spoken dismissal into visual confrontation. The text dominates the composition, likely executed in Stefanski's characteristic approach where letterforms carry the weight of brushwork—each stroke registering not just as language but as gesture, mood, and accumulated emotional residue. Stefanski works within a lineage of text-based painting that includes Christopher Wool and Ed Ruscha, yet his practice distinguishes itself through its embrace of contemporary vernacular and raw emotional directness. Where others maintain ironic distance, Stefanski leans into sincerity, even when that sincerity manifests as rejection. The phrase here captures a particular modern exhaustion—the moment when empathy reaches its limit, when emotional labor becomes too costly to extend. It reads as boundary-setting, as self-preservation, as the kind of thing we think constantly but rarely say aloud. The work's substantial scale at 44 by 34 inches gives the statement physical presence, demanding the viewer reckon with its declaration rather than scroll past it. In Stefanski's hands, words become monuments to fleeting feelings, preserving what would otherwise evaporate into silence or regret. The painting sits comfortably within his broader exploration of language as emotional artifact—each canvas a record of something felt deeply enough to commit to permanence.

Eric Stefanski's paintings occupy a distinctive position within the contemporary American art market — combining the visual vocabulary of Pop Art and street culture with a formally rigorous approach to colour, composition, and text that has attracted serious collector attention. At Guy Hepner, Stefanski works have been placed with collectors drawn to accessible, wit-driven contemporary painting that rewards both immediate engagement and sustained looking.
Stefanski's paintings are priced from approximately $5,000 to $35,000 depending on scale and complexity, with commissioned works and sold-out series commanding premiums on the secondary market. His work has attracted fashion, entertainment, and finance collectors who respond to its cultural fluency and visual confidence.
Stefanski's practice draws on advertising, commercial signage, and the aesthetics of American vernacular culture, recontextualising familiar visual language within the formal conventions of fine art painting. His works typically combine text — often humorous, ironic, or affirmatory statements — with bold graphic compositions executed in acrylic on canvas or panel.
His engagement with popular culture is knowing rather than merely appropriative: Stefanski filters consumer imagery through an art-historical awareness that connects his practice to Pop Art predecessors while maintaining a distinctly contemporary voice.
Stefanski's text-based works generate the strongest collector response, particularly those that strike a balance between wit and formal precision. Works from early sold-out series have demonstrated meaningful secondary market appreciation, reflecting both collector attachment and constrained supply.
Large-scale paintings work particularly effectively in the residential and commercial contexts where Stefanski's collector base predominantly operates.
Stefanski's works are authenticated through his studio. The acrylic medium is stable and relatively robust; works stored and displayed appropriately require minimal conservation attention.
Stefanski's consistent output and expanding collector base position his paintings as strong acquisitions at their current price points. His primary market remains accessible, creating genuine upside opportunity for early collectors as his institutional profile continues to develop.

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.
