Pantone Series: 2016 - Present

The Pantone Series began in 2016 with several anonymous works submitted to Rochester Contemporary Art Center‘s annual 6×6 exhibition. The work was prompted by Pantone’s announcement of the Color of the Year – which, for the first time, featured two colors. Rose Quartz was used for the inspiration to paint Instagram-famous The Fat Jewish (Josh Ostrovsky) with a bottle of his infamous White Girl Rosé. The light-hearted and funny series transforms a celebrity (mostly global, sometimes local) into a Pantone color chip that somehow relates to that person.

The majority of works are painted in acrylic on Masonite panel and measure 6″ W x 6″ H. In late 2017, production of a 10” x 10″ size commenced with a commission request for a Pantone family portrait; and 24 x 24” canvases began in 2019. The series has been in two solo exhibits nominated in CITY Newspaper’s Best of Rochester (2019 & 2020). Available works (items that aren’t marked NFS – Not For Sale) can be found in the shop or by contacting Stacey directly.
