STEVE LACY THE ART OF FUN

WELCOME TO MY ONLINE GALLERY. NICE TO MEET YOU! I AM A NYC-BASED ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZES IN SCREENPRINTING. I DESCRIBE MY STYLE AS ‘CONTEMPORARY NOSTALGIA’ MEETS ‘LIFELIKE SILKSCREEN PORTRAITURE’.

SINCE MY WORK IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY MY YOUTH, AS YOU WILL SEE MY FAVORITE SUBJECTS ARE ROCK STARS AND SPORTS CARDS. HOWEVER,I ALSO ENJOY WORKING WITH PEOPLE TO MAKE CUSTOM PIECES. ESSENTIALLY IF YOU’VE EVER THOUGHT ‘I WISH I COULD TAKE THIS PICTURE AND DO THIS TO IT, BUT WITH A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND’ THEN I’M YOUR GUY. PLEASE REACH OUT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PURCHASING ANY OF PIECES YOU SEE, OR TO DISCUSS COLLABORATING ON A CUSTOM WORK OF ART. - STEVE LACY

CUSTOM ART THAT INCORPORATES YOUR IDEAS AND IMAGES INTO THE CREATIVE PROCESS MY CUSTOM PORTRAITS ALLOW ME TO TIE TOGETHER SEEMINGLY DISPARATE ELEMENTS FROM A PERSON’S LIFE INTO A SINGLE PIECE OF ART THAT TELLS A LARGER STORY ABOUT THE THINGS THEY LOVE THE MOST. THE TOP PIECE IS A PICTURE OF MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER AUTUMN, TRANSPOSED INTO A PICTURE OF TREY ANASTASIO HOISTING HIS GUITAR ABOVE HIS HEAD DURING THE CLIMACTIC FINAL NOTES OF ‘FIRST TUBE’. I THEN SET THE PIC ON PARK AVE AS A NOD TO THE DRIVE TO HER DELIVERY AT MT SINAI ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE. (PHOTO USED WITH PERMISSION FROM JAY BLAKESBERG.) ON THE LEFT IS A PICTURE OF MY DOG RYDER ON SURFSIDE BEACH JUXTAPOSED WITH AN IMAGE OF MICK JAGGER ONSTAGE AT MSG IN 1981 FOR COMEDIC EFFECT. TWO OF MY ALLTIME FAVORITE ALPHA DOG ROCK STARS!

TOP: My newborn daughter Autumn in Trey Anastasio’s hands. LEFT: My dog Ryder on Surfside Beach next to Mick Jagger.

WITH HIS LINE OF SPORTS CARD ART, STEVE MARRIED HIS LIFELONG LOVE OF COLLECTING WITH HIS PASSION FOR SCREENPRINTING. THE RESULTS ARE A FUN, COLORFUL NOD TO THE HEROES OF OUR YOUTH. NOSTALGIC, YET CONTEMPORARY AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL ALL AT ONCE.

BY USING THE SAME 4-COLOR PRINTING TECHNIQUE THE CARDS WERE ORIGINALLY CREATED WITH, STEVE IS ABLE TO FAITHFULLY RECREATE ANY TRADING CARD ON A GRAND SCALE. STANDARD SIZE IS 30”X40” ACRYLIC ON GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS. LARGER SIZES ARE AVAILABLE TOO. IF YOU COLLECT IT, I CAN RE-CREATE IT.

Steve creates hyperrealistic sports card art by replicating the same 4-color CMYK printing process used on the original cards.

AXL ROSE > ACK’L ROSE

ACKETITE FOR DESTRUCTION SCONSET MEETS THE SUNSET STRIP? I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THERE IS AN INTERESTING PARALLEL BETWEEN ROCK STARS AND THE ISLAND LIFESTYLE. AT IT’S ESSENCE, BOTH ARE EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES WHOSE MEMBERS BROADCAST THEIR INCLUSION VIA LOUD CLOTHING AND A GENERALLY OVER-THETOP LOVE OF TYING ONE ON! WHETHER YOU WANT SOMETHING COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND ADMITTEDLY SOMEWHAT-CHEEKY LIKE THE ABOVE IMAGE, OR A BIT MORE TRADITIONAL WORK OF ART, MARK AND STEVE ARE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE A PIECE OF CUSTOM ART THAT IS SURE TO TRANSFORM THE SPACE YOU’RE IN.

CONTACT ME LIKE MOST PEOPLE, I’VE MOVED PRETTY MUCH MY ENTIRE LIFE ONLINE AT THIS POINT. SO I FIGURED IT WAS TIME TO TAKE MY ART BUSINESS ONLINE TOO. BY TRANSITIONING TO SELLING DIRECTLY TO COLLECTORS, I CAN CUT OUT THE GATEKEEPERS AND MIDDLEMEN, WHICH RESULTS IN MUCH LOWER PRICES. IT’S MY GOAL TO CREATE MEANINGFUL, LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE WHO SHARE MY AESTHETIC. IF YOU’D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MY CREATIVE PROCESS I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE PAGE. I ENJOY DOCUMENTING THE CREATION OF MY ONE-OF-A-KIND HANDMADE PIECES OF ART. I THINK YOU CAN GET A MUCH BETTER SENSE OF HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO EACH PIECE WHEN YOU WITNESS THE PROCESS FROM START-TO-FINISH. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A PIECE, OR DISCUSSING COLLABORATING ON A CUSTOM PIECE PLEASE GET IN TOUCH! -STEVE LACY
