Steven Shearer

3/5 ( ratings)

This first monograph on Canadian artist Steven Shearer plunges the
reader into the phenomenally versatile work he creates based on
material in his extensive image bank of some 36,000 JPEGs of
clippings, Xeroxes, and found photos. Shearer's obsession is his own
development as a teenaged boy, and issues around teen identity and
social class. The 67 works presented here - a mix of paintings, posters,
highly intricate photo-collages, drawings and written poems, from his
2007 exhibitions at Ikon and The Power Plant galleries - while animated
by the culture of Heavy Metal music, ultimately reveal the - need to
belong - that helps define the human condition, especially during
adolescence. Excellent interpretive essays by curators Nigel Prince,
Helena Reckitt and Nancy Tousley.
