ABOUT THE ARTWORK

How to Disappear (2023) - - - Acrylic, paper, ink, and found objects on framed-in-metal poster 36.25w x 24.15h x 2.50 inches - - - **PLEASE NOTE: Frame is built in - this was started on the back of a framed-in-black-metal poster with lights that I painted over, again and again. The frame has some scuffs, holes, and marks - this is intentional as this piece is supposed to look weathered, worn, and full of history as it was made over a period of about 7 years. Since it was made on this poster, there is a slight warp and bend and it's not perfectly square (see pics). ________________________________________________ Flying in from the ramparts, he whispers "I think I just vanished for a sec." I’m reminded of a quote by Philip Guston: “When you're in the studio painting, there are a lot of people in there with you - your teachers, friends, painters from history, critics... and one by one if you're really painting, they walk out. And if you're really painting YOU walk out.” This piece was a culmination of influences ranging from Pollock’s all-over paintings to Jasper John’s use of objects, to which I added my own collage paint method. It developed over about 7 years, beginning in vertical orientation and switching to horizontal about halfway through, layers being added and shedded throughout. You can see and feel the history embedded in this piece - various old layers peek through along with rough spots where elements were sanded away. In the end it forms a map of the working method of an artist, whiling away the time, trying to disappear, again and again. ________________________________________________ SUBJECT MATTER: Enlightenment, Presence, Skydiving

ART, LIKE LIFE, HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT. A whiff of control; some semblance of steering. And belief of a firm grip. But we're grasping at the air beneath our feet. The truth is: we don't hold anything. It comes in bits and bobs, dashes and jots - brief glimpses, spaces, sliding out of sight. For truth, is to feel it slip away. And then to try to create it. - - - Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, & often both, my art reflects the intersection between logic and intuition, real and abstract, time and the timeless. - - - - - - - - - Steven Tannenbaum grew up in New Jersey, where he learned how to garden and defend himself. He now lives in Portland, Oregon, and his art is in public & private collections across the US, Israel, and England. You can find more of his work at:
