"Treasure Chest", oil/paint, 72 x 48", 2024
Like the anthropomorphic creature in some surrealist work, Stein’s fashionable, bird-headed person, chirps out a bubble containing a mysterious, indecipherable message. The bubble rests on the horizon of a dark sky and a lush green landscape while the lady bird holding a purse or treasure chest stands amidst a pile of rocks on a painterly, burnt-orange ground. A clue to interpretation may lie in the upper left corner: the blue outline of a man smiles peacefully, as if dreaming the whimsical scene below.
