"Stephen Kasner's paintings operate in between the worlds of spirit and flesh. Working in a large scale and an earthy palette dominated by black and white, his mainly abstract images move the eye using form, texture and an elusive, vaguely hallucinatory optical dynamism. Despite the subtlety of the symbolic images that do sometimes app...
