Olde Town Gallery in Fayetteville, NC, Features Works by Stefan Duncan

Olde Town Gallery in Fayetteville, NC, will present the exhibit, A Journey Through the Sacred Grove, featuring new works by Stefan Duncan, the developer of the Squiggleism™ art style, on view from Nov. 23 through Jan. 20, 2008.

In 1998, Duncan decided to pursue art full time. He works 12 hours a day. He thinks and lives art from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed at night. Duncan's mission is to bring the Divine back into peoples' lives. It took four years to develop his own unique style. Two years after this, he fell into his Squiggleism™ style.

The Squiggleism™ style is defined as the impressionistic dash with a twist of unblended colors layered together to create the final painting. In terms of art, the squiggle is to Squiggleism™ as the point is to Pointillism.

Duncan uses this art style as a way to express his beliefs in that each squiggle represents a unit of the Divine. Squiggleism™ reveals the essence of the divine in nature. It becomes a part of Living Spirit Art. Within Living Spirit Art, various objects represented in paintings have meanings connected to the Divine. For example, a cypress is a symbol of the gateway between life and death and water is the transitional media between this world and the afterlife.

Duncan was named America's Van Gogh by David Wolk of (www.VanGoghGallery.com) in Aug. 2006. He has 15 paintings featured on the Van Gogh Gallery website. Since August of 2005, Duncan has sold over 500 paintings.
