About The Artwork
Genetics Determine All The Shit You Do #FuckWisely --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unapologetically, Stein’s artworks bluntly place free will against genetic determinism. Stein firmly believes that genetic traits dictate the person we become. He has spent the last twenty-five years painting and listening to women and is convinced that it all comes down to hereditary factors. If questioned about his declaration, he routinely responds, “Can you think of anything you do that isn’t a result of your genetics?” This provocative thesis is the result of an inquisitive mind and an uncontrollable desire to paint taboo subjects for public consumption. Stein raison d’erte is to disrupt the political correctness of steering public opinion away from genetic determinism. Stein states that he is often asked, “why do you only look at the problems people suffer from?” He replies, “people without genetic problems are okay. I don’t paint beautiful pictures.” Stein’s outsider approach to making art has produced totemic women. These paintings provide a gateway to understanding genetic determinism. In short, Stein’s daring art pushes society to take accountability and question conformity. #fuckwisely

Ira Stein’s works confront issues that are difficult to talk about – sexual and physical abuse, social responsibility and what he feels is the dumbing down of society. As you will see, his works are bound together by his fascination with genetics and how it determines “all the shit you do.” His mantra, “Fuck Wisely” is a raw summation of his perspective on how society is evolving. Stein is a trained artist, a Vietnam veteran, former commercial airline pilot, and was a renown jeweler. With such an interesting and varied personal background, his works convey a well-rounded, multi-dimensional and inventive interpretation of the world surrounding him. His sculptures, mixed-media collages and figurative paintings all provide a glimpse into the psyche of an artist grasping with the notion of genetic essentialism viewed from the perspective of the troubled, vulnerable, and erotic female. Stein lives and works in Brentwood, California.
