Fine Art Magazine June Edition

S T E V E T A N D Y We are delighted to introduce the witty and thought-provoking wildlife paintings of Steve Tandy. Steve’s highly individual work explores the world of ‘50s and ‘60s popular culture; fascinated by iconic figures such as Marlon Brando, James Dean and David Hockney, he references movie scenes, cars, motorcycles or paintings of this period, but replaces the humans with wildlife, mainly penguins, pandas and polar bears. Steve describes his own work as “realism and surrealism with pop art influences”, and in his more serious moments he includes subtle hints about caring for the planet, referencing deforestation, climate change and changing wildlife habitats, creating a whole extra layer of resonance for a contemporary audience. Over the last year, Steve has been identified as a genuine rising star with sales of his original paintings soaring. His work is exhibited and sold in an increasing number of prestigious galleries in the UK and Australia and his collector base is expanding rapidly. N E W R E L E A S E STEVE TANDY 10 NEW RELEASE
