Palisades in Ice and Snow
Oil on Linen
Winter 2024/2025
Stephen StollerPainted onsite in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, Palisades in Ice and Snow captures a rare and powerful river phenomenon: the débâcle, when sheets of ice fracture and give way to the deep blues beneath. Stephen Stoller’s sweeping canvas documents this fleeting event with reverence and drama. The icy foreground pulls open to reveal surging water, while the Palisades rise in glowing contrast—anchoring the chaos with their timeless form. Sky, cliff, and river move together in a visual rhythm that is both geological and emotional. This work stands as a centerpiece of the series, a meditation on rupture, emergence, and the raw beauty of winter’s end.
