About this work
Eric Stefanski's "Saturday Sunday" presents the viewer with a deceptively simple declaration that unfolds into something far more complex upon sustained looking. The words appear rendered in Stefanski's characteristic approach—text functioning not as graphic design but as painterly gesture, each letter carrying the weight and texture of oil worked deliberately across the canvas's generous 44 x 34 inch surface. The painting sits at the intersection of language and pure visual experience, where meaning arrives through both reading and seeing. The weekend days named here evoke a particular emotional territory: the suspended time between structured weeks, hours that belong differently to us, moments freighted with expectation or relief or the quiet dread of Monday's approach. Stefanski treats these common words as vessels for accumulated feeling, transforming familiar language into something we encounter freshly. There is a stillness to the work, a sense of time held rather than passing, that resonates with the actual experience of weekends—their strange elasticity, their promise and occasional emptiness. Within Stefanski's broader practice, "Saturday Sunday" continues his investigation of text as emotional residue, words chosen not for their conceptual cleverness but for their capacity to hold lived experience. The oil medium here adds warmth and depth to his typically acrylic-based work, lending the piece a luminosity that feels appropriate to its subject matter. The scale invites intimate contemplation while maintaining a commanding presence. This work exemplifies Stefanski's ability to make us pause before language we thought we knew completely. "Saturday Sunday" is available for acquisition through Guy Hepner, New York.

About Eric Stefanski
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.
