A painter of great lyricism and sensitivity, Stopforth captures the inner life of those single objects depicted in turn on a single shelf that serves both as a plinth and an altar. His objects hover in that space between being and non-being and shimmer in a light all of their own all the while expressing a profound reverence for the sublime tradition.
‘’Every painting is a new painting. Another venture into the darkness, looking for that small glimmer of light, of candles flicker on the wall from which a new piece can be found and given a life of its own. Art of the sublime and the romantic is my tradition into which I wish to lose myself with each painting I do.’’
