Damian Stamer

Damian Stamer is a North Carolina artist from Durham County. His large-scale paintings often depict old barns, empty farmland, and abandoned buildings. Stamer says his childhood experiences in these quiet places became the inspiration for his artwork. Stamer’s paintings are based on photos of real places in North Carolina and his memories of growing up here. Stamer explores themes of memory, time, history, and change in his work. He combines realism with abstract textures by layering and scratching paint to make his artwork look like old photographs.
