STEVE STEELE

Steve Steele's art can be divided into three distinct areas: large-scale dimensional mixed-media works, large-scale installation projects, and small-scale mixed-media sculpture... Steele's large-scale works consist of long, horizontal "containers" that are wall mounted. The spectator is asked to peer through one or more "windows" into the space contained within. These works utilize media such as water, air, soap bubbles, sound, light, darkness, reflections, etc. Various effects are achieved through the use of motors, blowers, pumps, electronic components, fogging devices, specialty lighting, and others. The primary concepts revolve around that which is not concrete, that which cannot be held in the hand (such as water or atmosphere, for example). The artist uses media that is truly abstract by its very nature. This body of work emphasizes a departure from the traditional in-the-round art object.
