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.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art.
