About Ernie Steiner

Ernest (Ernie) Steiner is a visual artist residing in Los Angeles California. Ernie was born in Connecticut and spent most of his young adult life in New York. While in New York Ernie constantly roamed the city streets visiting museums, galleries, and retail shops. Ernie acquired a deep appreciation for classic art, but he drew most of his inspiration from the urban culture, graffiti, and street wear merchants he discovered as he navigated New York City’s grid. Ernie further explored his passion for art by attending the School of Visual Arts in New York, and he honed his skills at a friend’s art studio in Chelsea. At the end of 2010 Ernie moved to Los Angeles, where he rented a small workspace at the Hive Gallery along gallery row in downtown. Airbrushing always appealed to Ernie because he saw it as a more refined and controlled way to paint in a similar manner to his influences that used aerosol spray paint cans. Ernie would often live paint during events and he always enjoyed the personal interaction that comes with live painting. Ernie left the Hive in 2012 and founded redCAP Creative Space in the heart of Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles. redCAP was Ernie’s center for creating and showcasing art, fashion, and music. Ernie invited various startups and artists to explore their creativity within the space, and it quickly became an experimental lab of sorts for street wear brands, designers, and musicians. Ernie enjoyed redCAP’s atmosphere but he realized that he wasn’t painting as often as he wanted because his attention was pulled in so many directions within the space. Ernie closed redCAP Creative Space in January 2013 in search of a space to devote strictly to painting. In February 2013, Ernie rented a studio in Inglewood, California where he creates and paints today. Ernie continues to walk the streets of Los Angeles, just as he did in New York, and he draws endless inspiration from influences he sees throughout the city.
