About the Item

This painting is about my family. I was feeling that the phone was becoming the only place where I could feel my family, that we were losing the real connection of time and intimacy of being with each other in real time. Instead we were living through photos that we were taking and somehow feeling more for the photo than we felt when we were actually looking at each other. But when we were pure and the moments of true togetherness that is the moment we are the closest to God. I call this Family in the Form of God. - Clintel Steed About the artist: “My painting is about the explosion of an image and the impact that it makes.” Clintel Steed, an American artist, holds a BFA in Painting from the Art Institute of Chicago, an MFA from Indiana University and completed Advanced Studies at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. Born in 1977 and raised in a devoutly Pentecostal Chrisitan household in Utah, Clintel drove to New York City in 2001 with his easel tied to the top of his car and settled in Harlem. Finding representation with Borghi Gallery, exhibitions throughout New York City, the Hamptons, Philadelphia and winning the John Koch award from the Academy of Arts and Letters in 2015, Clintel is an artist who represents the urgency and grit that was synonymous with New York City in the 1970s and 1980s. “The battle between good and evil, heaven and hell was preached all the time. This struggle is still within me, the lust for money and the battle for power.” Clintel’s studio is in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn, one of the last vestiges of unadulterated New York art studio space.
