Steve Zolin: A New Perspective Artist Steve Zolin believes that, “Humanity has an incessant need to believe in the straightness of objects.” As Zolin developed as an artist, he began playing with perspective and came to the conclusion that space itself is curved. When Zolin, in his early 20’s, stumbled on Einstein’s parallel conclusions, he realized there was scientific backing for his musings and began to delve further into his fascination with space, the universe and art. This interest started to be played out in his figurative work. As his ideas evolved, he began to embrace abstraction, which eventually led him to where his work is now: abstract collisions in representational space. Most representational space employs the vanishing point* to add realism. Zolin’s work, in contrast, plays with curves and strives to imply an infinite number of vanishing points with fields of influence that overlap one another. Other arts also flirt with the subject of space and curvature -- “music of the spheres” and Shakespeare’s “mortal coil” -- both imply “unstillness” and “unstraightness” in reality’s construction. According to Zolin, “In this show I have tried to imbue the work with these qualities in order to imply a larger truth concerning the structure of reality. My perspectival approach and personal gestural language are the vehicles through which my experiment in space is essayed.”Born in 1972 and raised in West Orange, NJ, Steve Zolin earned his BFA cum laud at Washington University in 1994 and won an MFA Fellowship at Florida State University, graduating in 2005. Between degrees he spent nine years in Santa Fe, New Mexico enmeshed in the art scene there. Shortly after receiving his MFA he returned to his home state of New Jersey and settled for a time in Clifton. Recently married, he now resides in Manhattan.* Artists developed the vanishing point in the 1400’s. It is a term used to describe the single point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to meet. |
