Brennen Steines constructs abstract topographies that embody the alchemical nature of painting’s materiality. Through utilizing various excavational processes and emulsive solutions, Steines produces visceral terrains that speak to geologic time and the haunting awe of material transformation. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at DIMIN (NYC), Chilli Art Projects (London), Museum of Wisconsin Art. Jeffrey Deitch (NYC), The Alice Wilds (Milwaukee), and Usable Space (Milwaukee). He is currently based in New Haven, CT.
