About

Steve Behar
San Diego, US

我是一名驻扎在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的叙事画家。我的作品曾在圣地亚哥艺术博物馆、巴特勒美国艺术研究所和洛杉矶的安克鲁姆画廊展出。我接受过心理学家的培训,专门从事测试;我的作品受到主题感知测验的影响。该测试描绘了人们在故意模糊的对人互动中的情景。在1930年代,测试制作者选择了包括莱昂·克罗尔和哈里·摩尔斯·迈耶斯在内的艺术家的杂志插图作为此目的。观察者有责任解释所描绘的叙事。 我还受到中世纪媒体的影响,尤其是广告、电视和电影。这个时期的媒体向美国人承诺了一种令人兴奋的生活愿景,而这种愿景很少能够实现。我的作品试图捕捉这一差距。我创作借用媒体的数字拼贴,并绘制结果。 我不接受委托。

I am a painter based in San Diego, California. My work has been included in shows at the San Diego Museum of Art, the Allied Artists of America through the Butler Museum of American Art, and is in the permanent collection of the Hilbert Museum of California Art.

I do not take commissions.

I am a narrative painter based in San Diego, California. My work has been included in shows at the San Diego Museum of Art, the Allied Artists of America through the Butler Museum of American Art and is in the permanent collection of the Hilbert Museum of California Art. I was trained as a psychologist specializing in testing; my work is influenced by the Thematic Apperception Test. This test depicts people in interpersonal interactions that are intentionally ambiguous. In the 1930s, the test makers selected magazine illustrations by artists including Leon Kroll and Harry Morse Meyers for this purpose. It is up to the observer to interpret the depicted narrative.

I am also influenced by Midcentury media, particularly advertising, television, and film. Media from this period promised Americans an exhilarating vision of life that could seldom be realized. My work attempts to capture something of that gap. I create digital collages of borrowed media and paint the result.
