Steven Harrington lives and
works in Los Angeles, CA. Aside from owning and operating National
Forest Design with fellow artist Justin Krietemeyer, he still finds
time to work on both commissioned and self-inspired art projects of
his own.
Influenced by images discovered in Time Life Encyclopedias 1965-1982,
thrift stores and Bill Withers, his art might be termed contextual
objectivism. He views each piece he creates as a tangible object that
is part and parcel of a larger context; the object helps define the
context and the context helps define the object. Whatever feel or meaning
the observer takes away from the piece belongs to the observer. Nothing
is shoved down his or her throat. Discovery is the key.
He has exhibited work in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, San Francisco,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Montreal, Tokyo, Melbourne, Barcelona, Paris,
Milan, and Berlin. |
