Overview
Reliquary II, 2024
"Seinberg’s somber paintings evolve from and update the work of mid-twentieth century American Abstract Expressionist painters, such as Cy Twombly, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still, from the perspective of a twenty-first century American. The action that occurs in the openness of his large canvases is witness to a heightened sensitivity, nostalgia, and humility grounded in a spirituality of natural phenomena."
- Robert Morgan
Steven Seinberg’s work is defined by a profound exploration of the natural world, traversing the tangible and the intangible, from the microscopic to the cosmic. Seinberg's art poetically navigates the intricate relationships between nature, human perception, and emotional resonance, transforming the act of seeing into a multi-sensory experience. His luminous paintings, drawings, and collages challenge conventional notions of landscape by revealing the unseen forces that shape our understanding of existence. Seinberg's work delves into the delicate interplay of light, color, and texture, exposing the underlying rhythms and patterns of nature and our place within it. By intertwining the poetic and the philosophical, he prompts a reevaluation of our connection to the natural world, urging us to see beyond the surface and embrace the deeper, often hidden, layers of reality. "Art is where, and how, humankind reflects on its existential station. It is a dialogue with nature, a way of being nature," Seinberg reflects, imbuing his work with a profound sense of introspection and transcendence.
