Iron Oxide Transfer to Copper Plates mounted in Specimen Drawers
9.75″ x 12.75″
Stephen Babcock explores the tension between sensuality, time, and transformation. His mixed-media works—often gilded with copper or gold leaf—glow with traces of the past: weathered textures, cryptic symbols, and figures that feel part muse, part myth. Drawing inspiration from vintage photography, early cinema, and the aesthetics of the wear and decay of time, Babcock invites viewers to uncover hidden narratives beneath the surface. “I like studying what time leaves behind—then asking, what if ?” His work bridges eras, blending nostalgia with reinvention—always hinting that the story is still unfolding. Babcock’s work spans both the nostalgic and the contemporary. His art is held in private collections around the world.
