About the Item
Steven H. Rehfeld (American, born 1954)
"Yosemite" 2007
Oil Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the back of the painting.
In Yosemite, Steven H. Rehfeld captures the raw, elemental spirit of nature through an abstracted and expressive lens. The expansive landscape of the iconic park is filtered through an emotional lens, where towering cliffs, flowing waters, and endless skies are reduced to sweeping brushstrokes, drips, and vibrant splashes of color. Rehfeld’s dynamic use of oil paints—thickly applied and subtly blended—creates an energy that feels as if the scene is still in the process of unfolding. The rocky formations and the cascading colors evoke the monumental scale of Yosemite, yet they are presented as fragments, conveying a sense of movement rather than stillness.
The patches of blue and green, interspersed with bold oranges and yellows, reference the park's lush valleys and dramatic geological features, but they are not mere representations. Instead, they offer a feeling—a reverence for the untamed beauty and emotional weight of this place. The lightness of the brushwork in the sky contrasts with the heavier marks in the foreground, suggesting the delicate balance between the natural world’s serenity and its wild, untamable power.
About the Artist:

With a profound grasp on the foundational elements of art, Rehfeld's work is a testament to his unmatched prowess and his relentless pursuit of excellence in the art world.
Born in San Francisco, in October 1954, Steven H. Rehfeld embarked on his artistic journey influenced by the diverse cultural backdrop of the Bay Area. Educated at the College of San Mateo and the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he majored in Studio Art, Rehfeld refined his eclectic style, harmoniously blending abstract art with realism. "First and foremost, I go beyond any artist ever," Rehfeld asserts, reflecting his deep understanding of art's foundation akin to the scientific precision of the periodic table. This comparison underlines his approach to art as a rigorous discipline where each element is as crucial as a chemical compound in a meticulously crafted formula.

Steven H. Rehfeld
Steven H. Rehfeld, a California artist, holds a B.A. in studio art from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He draws inspiration from the 'Outsiders' school of art that originated in 19th-century France, known as the Naïve movement. Also referred to as the Naïve or Primitive art movement, was comprised of artists with no formal art training who discovered their talent and began painting. Many of these artists came from challenging backgrounds, and their raw talent remained untapped until they expressed themselves through art. The movement quickly gained prominence and spread worldwide. Steven Rehfeld's artistic style has evolved beyond the Naïve movement, incorporating earth elements to create a basic and raw interpretation of his artistic message. Discover the exclusive collection of Steven H. Rehfeld's artwork at The American Art Gallery. Artist Statement "My oil, acrylic, and mixed media paintings explore the dynamic relationship between progressiveness and tradition, personal and cultural experiences, and the interplay between the human form and iconography. Through these explorations, I engage in a dialogue that reveals how the intangible influences the material world. Color contrast forms, negative/positive space, and visual kinetic energy shape these artistic relationships. Additionally, I fuse abstract art with elements of realism to create a unique artistic experience."
