ARTIST BIO

B. 1979 Los Angeles, California, USA

Cited as the leader of a contemporary Californian psychedelic-pop aesthetic, Los Angeles–based artist and designer Steven Harrington is best known for his bright, iconic style that encourages a two-way conversation between artist and viewer. The timeless quality in his playful yet contemplative work is inspired by California’s mystique, vastly diverse landscape and thriving mix of cultures. Embracing a multimedia approach, Harrington’s portfolio includes large-scale installations made of fiberglass and steel, hand painted canvases, limited-edition books, skateboards, and sculptures.
