The fine lines between the reverie and the tangible, a rooted fascination with the visual luxuries of ancient Suessian and a commanding hunger to explore the native abstract charm within the disciplines of the real and unreal cultures are all at work for now Georgia-based artist Steven Van. His meticulous draftsmanship and articulation in executing hallucinatory perspective and line contribute to the timeless quality of his visual discourse. Sometimes occupying in surreal surroundings, sometimes poised in a soundless lagoon of negative space, his abstract compositions dictate a distinctive presence wakening the royal breeze of a new Renaissance-era. These finely created works communicate a sacred, time-honored juncture. Devoted to authentic, creative intuition and infusing a native, urban taste into his work, Van’s work is grounded in a diverse range of foundations from Renaissance painting, Abstract Surrealism landscapes married with contemporary graffiti and platinum age colors. Steven Van was born in San Diego CA in 1986. For the last 19 years, Van’s work has been exhibited at commercial, private collections, galleries and museums around the world. Van has worked with national brands such as Coca Cola and Ford.
