A little different approach with this oil on Mylar. Not obvious seeing it here, but I'm punching out holes in the Mylar (the small white circles) which intrigues me with an eye on upcoming pieces. #stevenbaris #contemporaryabstractpainting #contemporaryabstract #contemporarypainting #diagram

WIP. Still more to come on this. I'm in a period where, for whatever reason, I'm oscillating between higher levels of complexity and much more minimal--all within the same series.

I was about to get back to you. Still haven’t been able to log in but I tried an end-around and got my website link on anyway. All is good and the world is at peace.

Glad you bring this up. I’ve tried repeatedly to do that but before I can add the link I’m told to log in. Although I just established my ID and password a month ago, it doesn’t recognize it and I’ve yet to get a response from their support. If you’ve any ideas, I’m all ears.

This largely nondescript shot of a snowy patch is the first of an about-to-begin construction of a new, stand-alone studio! Shortly this will be a hole.

2024's final, mostly silent hours in the studio. Wishing all my art friends a productive and innovative next year in their studios. And for all my non-artists friends, a productive and innovative next year with whatever the heck you're doing.

Now that I'm a recent sign-on with Bsky, I figure I should post something. As I'm momentarily mute, this artwork will have to do the trick. Stations of Attention E23, oil on canvas.

You have the distinction—for me—of being the first artist I have seen to post artwork on BS.
