Artist Statement

SFHQ offers an exciting selection of artwork celebrating America's Favorite City by San Francisco artist, Stephen C. Wagner. Whimsy and humor abound throughout Fog City in the SFarOut series of digital prints. The essence of San Francisco cool-hunters is captured in the SF Hip digital prints on kraft paper. Color explodes all over San Francisco in the SFab series of screen-prints on vintage wallpaper. Close-ups of San Francisco street signs, cable cars, and tracks highlight the SFocus series of sepia-tone photographs. The SFotos series features original photographs offering unique views of the City by the Bay in a style of high contrast and color intensity. The SFierce mono-prints were created to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge in a contemporary edgy style.
