Steve Horan

I am an abstract landscape painter. I attempt to look beyond what is in front of me to reach a greater interpretation. My abstract vistas give the viewer the freedom to step away from the literal landscape of nature and tap into imagery created within their mind’s eye. My abstract landscapes are based on an emotional reaction to a natural setting –urban or rural—rather than a specific depiction of a place. As a result, my paintings are fantasy paintings of the real world.

In my artwork I create a combination of and harmony between abstraction and realism. My abstract landscapes contain some recognizable elements—not every detail is abstracted. In developing my artwork, I allow my imagination to dramatically alter the size and shape of what I see.

I accept commissions.
