Gangsta Super Heroes in the Forrest: Steve Seeley @ Rotofugi


Steve Seeley's "My God It's Good to See You" Show opened this weekend at Rotofugi. He has an unusual style that mixes Super Heroes as Gangstas in forrest settings on top of big animals.

Artist Bio
Chicago-based painter Steve Seeley may have a Master of Fine Arts from Ohio State University in printmaking, but it's his firm grasp of painting and pop culture that have made us fall in love with his art.

Steve's wide-ranging tastes in comic books, superheroes and Japanese monsters (kaiju) along with his ability to combine those with an array of floral and natural elements results in a disparate, though pleasing, amalgamation that never gets boring.

For this exhibit (his first solo exhibit at Rotofugi Gallery, though he has contributed to many of our group exhibits) Steve has obviously dipped into the comics and superheroes and added his usual touch of humor.


I met Steve at last year's Toy Karma 2 Show
