Steve Parrino Untitled 1991 Acrylic and enamel on canvas. 183 x 152.5 cm. (72 x 60 in). Signed and dated ‘St. Parrino 91’ on the stretcher.
Provenance Private collection, Germany Catalogue Essay When I started making paintings, the word on painting was “PAINTING IS DEAD”. I saw this as an interesting place for painting… death can be refreshing, so I started engaging in necrophilia…. Approaching history in the same way that Dr. Frankenstein approaches body parts… Nature Morte… my contemporaries were NO WAVERS… BLACK FLAG-ERS… and this death painting thing led to a sex and death painting thing… that became an existence thing… that became a “Cease to Exist” thing… A kind of post-punk existentialism. I am still concerned with “art about art”, but I am also aware that “art about art” still reflects the time in which it was made. Content is not denied… Content is not obvious… Content is sustained in the air or the vibe of the work. S. Parrino taken from www.gagosian.com, 2003 Read More
