The artwork continues Steve’s fascination with film and
the Hollywood/American Dream. Film icons from the golden age, through to the
60’s,70’s jostle with pop symbolism of the period creating an alternate
landscape of Hollywood and LA. Vintage film posters, magazine pages and photographs
are torn, disrupted and reassembled to offer a glimpse into the fractured
beauty and bleakness of entertainment’s most important city. Playing against
the beauty and vivacity of American pop iconography is this ripped, torn and
worn-out version … both sides of the Los
Angeles coin.
