New works in oil by Canadian Painter Steve R. Coffey

Steve Coffey has been a full time practicing artist for many years. He has curated traveling exhibitions, created large-scale public sculptures, taught college, and conducted many workshops and art residencies. After finishing his formal training with an MFA in 1990 Steve explored formalist metal sculpture but eventually gave in to his love of drawing and representation and was seduced by the immediacy and challenges of oil paint. He began exploring the medium full time in 1995.

Steve has exhibited extensively and his paintings can be found in numerous private and ​public collections throughout North America, Europe & Asia. He is represented by galleries across Canada and in the United States.

Steve's work triggers the feeling of familiarity, that somewhere at sometime the viewer has seen or felt this, an intimate mystery that lives on the tip of the tongue. It's accessible for simply what it is, a painting or a song left to a person's interpretation.
