Steven's work is absolutely amazing. The way that he applies paint is so unique and fantastic to watch! Many of his drawings are done with ball point pen, and the amount of detail and naturalism he achieves with this medium is pretty astonishing. Donald Kuspit has called him one of the "new old-masters," and he truly deserves the title. He was born in New York, and says that he grew up drawing and doodling, as well as copying old master paintings here in New York at the various museums. He went to the Pratt Institute in New York.
In class, we were fortunate enough to get to watch him paint, and every week we try to replicate his technique...it is extremely difficult! I still don't quite know how he does it, despite watching him time after time!
