BIO
Randy Steinke fell in love with painting in college when he had painting and art history classes. He has painted ever since then but in intermittent periods. Life circumstances led him back to painting which he has now turned into a full-time profession. Randy paints in a figurative expressionist (colorist) style which uses bold vibrant colors on figurative subjects with the use of shapes to coalesce into an artwork.
Artist Statement
When I look at the world around us I see shapes, shapes occur from texture, color, and light/dark. I use figurative images that are abundant with shapes, and work the shapes to make the composition fit into a coherent image. The composition is a process that involves interpreting, moving, and manipulating the shapes to create a harmonious image. Color is not a factor at this point in the development of the artwork but colors do start manifesting themselves. Once satisfied with the forms on the canvas, I began to conceptualize colors that complement the shapes. When I’m satisfied with at least one color, I begin to interject that color onto the shapes which always results in other colors reveling themselves. For me every artwork is a conscious experiment that lays the foundation for future experiments.
