Skip Steinworth

Still-lifes have been the primary subject matter of Skip Seinworth’s pencil drawings. The objects in these arrangements are generally commonplace but are also chosen because of a timeless, almost generic quality they possess. Similarly, his landscapes offer no reference to a particular time or place, although their precision and detail suggest an actual location. Steinworth explains, “My work is representational, which to me means more than achieving a pictorial illusion. It is an investigation of our perceptions of the seeable world, an effort to determine what makes things visually "tick," and to understand what exactly it is that allows us to make sense of what we see.”

He has had solo exhibitions at Jenkins Johnson Gallery in New York, Hackett Freedman Gallery in San Francisco, and Jerry Solomon Gallery, Los Angeles, among others. His work has been included in group exhibitions at institutions such as Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock, and Arnot Art Museum in Elmira.
