Lives and works in California
Beginning with a base of photographic transfers on paper, Steve Dietl creates small, intimate and unique works on paper by hand-working each with a mixture of paint and other materials. Individual pictures are then mounted in series on a larger, narrow piece of paper, wide enough to envelope the close-up viewer’s peripheral vision. From there and even further back the serial nature of the images forms a disjunctive cinematic effect, forcing the viewer to use his or her imagination to create a potential narrative.
