Ben Steele

Represented by Altamira Fine Art

ben steeleBen Steele paints in conversation with his classical training, allowing him to respond to modern life through the tropes and techniques of the Old Masters. Ever experimenting with subject matter and composition, he allows the realism of trompe l’oeil to layer with Pop retorts and contemporary comebacks.

Steele never stays in one mode for too long. Instead, he travels through art’s historical and pop cultural references, arriving at scenes defined by his own lyrical sensibility. Whether it is Vermeer and Lichtenstein or hard candies and Wild West figurines, they can share the same dialogic space. In his paintings and his practice, personality pervades.
