ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Man in Thought. 76 x 101 cm Oil on aluminium. Varnished, framed and ready to hang. My paintings are different corners of my mind – or maybe different sides of us all, from pure lightness to the dark. ‘Man in Thought’ depicts the feeling of inner peace. We are complex of mind and spirit. My intent as a contemporary portrait artist is to explore the human psyche through painting these complexities. I am concerned with portraying this aspect rather than focussing on the surface level alone. When I’m doing thick brush stokes, I try to see underneath first. I’m aware of the feeling and often paint in layers with the thick strokes almost like a mask in areas. If each brush stroke is done with feeling and intent, then surely that comes through. Likewise, a smear of colour done with purpose shows through. Painting is beautifully framed, 3.5 cm deep.

Steve Salo
Australia
Steve Salo is an Australian contemporary artist, best known for his emotive portraiture and expressive landscape paintings. His works are in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, UAE, Ireland, the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. Steve's profile continues to grow, with paintings shortlisted in prestigious prizes across Australia and awarded a prize in Florence, Italy. Artist residencies in Hämeenkyrö Finland and in Portsea Australia. "My paintings speak for me and say a lot more than I ever could put into words. They can depict everything from a moment in time to the weight of the modern world, to contemporary reimagining of works by master painters. I enter the studio and a catharsis takes place, I feel the same when I connect with someone else’s artwork, music or performance. Art has the power to free the mind and connect us to humanity, even if only for a moment."
