ABOUT THE ARTWORK

∆ This piece was born in my mind on a rainy day. Sitting in traffic, the person's head in the car in front of me briefly combined in a blur with their windshield wipers to form a figure holding their arms upright, in either celebration or grief. After starting with this central character, other elements of abstraction (upper third) and reality (lower third) drifted in, along with a small dream segment of a hand catching silver raindrops. Purposely diverse in elements and symbols, and as with much of my work during this period, the intent behind this piece lies in blending the surreal silliness of life with the very real fact we all have to wake up each day and live it, and snakes and sharks lie in every corner. ∆

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:
