Steven Sorman: Is Was Will Be

Since his debut in the early 1970s Steven Sorman has built a reputation with opulently decorative mixed-medium works. Filled with biomorphic shadows and overlapping lines, his paintings and prints evoke a horizon-less inner landscape where natural forces reveal themselves with graphic certainty. Private as thought, Sorman's works propose a transcendent identity between life's energies, painted gestures, and the trace of consciousness. One could say that Sorman's paintings have evolved from ornaments to devotional emblems; a change that bodes well for Sorman's future.​
