CATINCA TABACARU GALLERY is proud to present cave paintings of a homo galactian, a solo exhibition by roster artist Justin Orvis Steimer and the artist’s second solo with the gallery. Debuting a new series of paintings on boat sails, the exhibition continues Steimer’s exploration of the spirit, translating energy into an ever-evolving vocabulary.
In the words of Piet Mondrian, “the artist is essentially a channel” to the divine.

About Justin Orvis Steimer: When Steimer works, he focuses his attention on his environment, whether a space, person or object, enabling the metaphysical essence to manifest into physical form. His subjects, or the places he finds himself, give him the materials from which he sews his canvases; their color, geometry and imbedded energy affecting the finished result as much as Steimer’s own hand and paint. Most recently, his work was included in the BAM’s New Wave exhibition (2015); Personal Structures, at Palazzo Mora during the 56th Venice Biennial (2015); and in Zig Zag Zim at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe (2016). Steimer is a founding member of the CTG collective.
