Cape, Germania: New Art from Germany, London 2008 (mit Abb. S. 21). Mit Stefan Kürten kommt im Jahr 1963 in Düsseldorf einer der interessantesten Vertreter der gegenwärtigen figurativen Kunst zur Welt. An der Heinrich Heine Universität in seiner Geburtsstadt nimmt Stefan Kürten 19-jährig sein Studium auf. Er schreibt sich zunächst für Philosophie ein (1982/83), entscheidet sich aber bald, an die Kunstakademie zu wechseln. 1989 macht Stefan Kürten, Student in der Klasse von Michael Buthe, seinen Abschluss, um danach für ein Jahr am Art Institute in San Francisco zu studieren. Hier nimmt Stefan Kürten 1992 auch einen Lehrauftrag an (bis 1994). Von Michael Buthe, dem Lehrmeister, kann Kürten die Wirkmacht flirrender Ornamentalität erlernen. Doch setzt der Schüler dabei nicht auf überbordende, ja barocke Opulenz, sondern auf einen hochgradig artifiziellen `Klassizismus`. Stefan Kürtens Werke, Malereien und Arbeiten auf Papier, nehmen den Ausgang bei seinen eigenen Fotografien, oder aber auch Reproduktionen aus Zeitschriften und Buchpublikationen. Besonders Ansichten von Gärten und Architekturen bilden die Grundlage seiner Kompositionen, die diese Gegebenheiten in künstlerischer Überhöhung in verträumte und verzauberte, auch beklemmende und surreal anmutende Welten verwandeln. Es entstehen Arbeiten von großem Wiedererkennungswert, tiefer Anziehungskraft und hoher ästhetischer Verfeinerung. Dieses Oeuvre begründet den Ruhm von Stefan Kürten, der sich zudem durch zahlreiche Lehraufträge hervortut. Nach einer Dozentur an der Hochschule für Künste in Bremen (2002/03) unterrichtet er 2006 am Art Institute in San Francisco und 2010 am Weimarer Bauhaus. Unter zahlreichen internationalen Einzelausstellungen seiner Werke ist die Schau der Arbeiten auf Papier im Kunstmuseum in Mülheim an der Ruhr (2012/13) oder 2007 die Ausstellung `Shadowtime` im Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld sowie der Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin hervorzuheben.
