Steve DiBenedetto's exhibition includes recent paintings and drawings that continue to plumb the motifs and idiosyncratic subject matter for which he is known. His reoccurring motifs include octopi, ferris wheels, carousels, blasted television sets, and more recently, generic office buildings with mirrored facades.
Steve DiBenedetto and Keith Edmier have been friends for many years; their studios are in the same building in mid-town Manhattan. Although disparate in their approach to making art, they share certain concerns including an interest in how popular culture and media images insinuate themselves into our unconscious.
