Steven Tannenbaum

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, Steven's art reflects the intersection between logic and intuition, real and abstract, time and the timeless.

Steven received his BA in advertising from Boston University, but started making art at the same time. Since then he's been self-taught, and takes from all artistic movements and artists, stuffs it in his satchel, gives it a shake, and uses what pops out.
