Clintel Steed's 'Endymion' Exhibition at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects Through October 9

Clintel Steed's painting 'Endymion' is currently on display at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, located at 208 Forsyth Street between Houston and Stanton streets, with the exhibition running through October 9. The show features several works, including a portrait described as an 'Invisible Man for the Internet age' that combines elements resembling an African mask with whirling fan blades, creating a face that conveys both hieratic menace and tender vulnerability. This piece appears in the exhibition 'When Dreams Happen' and contrasts with three other paintings in the gallery's front parlor that reference old master painting and contemporary news cycles with busier, denser compositions. A critic who wrote a recommendation letter for Steed twelve years ago notes that his current work maintains the same qualities observed in his student days, specifically praising the fusion of formal picture organization with intuitive narrative sense. The artist is recognized for his energy and ambition, with his paintings consistently demonstrating a marriage of plastic and personal elements that gives them distinctive intensity.
