Paintings

Taken from the foreword by David W. Houston in the Rizzoli Book, STEVE TOBIN MIND OVER MATTER
Comprised of found objects organized into square or rectangular frames, his PAINTINGS incorporate a wide range of objects to create patterns unified by the application of color and patina, reading as images from afar and becoming meticulously detailed assemblage sculptures on close viewing. Like the Exploded Earth series, the Paintings also are the direct result of the force of gravity on the pouring and scattering of objects into their armature or frame.
