Eva Presenhuber is pleased to announce the fifth exhibition with Canadian artist Steven Shearer.

About

For more than 20 years, Shearer has worked with a wide range of materials such as print, sculpture, painting, drawing and collaged found photography. Shearer has become increasingly well known for his adept portraits of figures painted within interior spaces. These portraits recall figures from past music subcultures and art historical painting, and are rendered employing stylistic references from Fauvism and Symbolism to German Romantic Art. Reconfiguring Renaissance systems of perspective, he creates complex perspectival elements within the compositions that animate the viewer’s engagement with his paintings.

This exhibition presents paintings and drawings, most of which depict archetypes of artists in studios with their muses. The subjects in the paintings are more similar to effigies than portrayals of actual people. In many cases, the psychology of the subject appears to be reflected onto their interior surroundings, comparable to a Symbolist approach.
