Steve Bauer was born in Leipzig on 13 March 1981. He is a freelance artist and illustrator. Steve Bauer ́s large format art works are technically based on classical fgurative drawings. However, during the work process, he integrates various other technical means and forms. He focuses on monochrome works – especially black and white paintings with finely tuned gray tones. Until 2016, he had mainly worked in acrylics, but since then he has also discovered for himself oil colors and other techniques such as airbrush or collages with relief-like surfaces. Ofen he exhibits his paintings with sound and light-installations. His works refect themes of everyday life, encounters, personal experiences as well as society.
Such topics usually mirror the artist ́s self-understanding to play a certain role in society, i.e. to recall important value and norm concepts and bring them into the awareness of people.
Steve Bauer ́s works could be perhaps best characterized by the term “painted the-me-collages”, as he always tries to find the most succinct and typical elements of a theme and unites them in a very direct but profound manner in just one single, unforgettable image. His theme-images could therefore be compared to embossers or stamps the contents of which depict typical phenomena of
our times.
