Steven A. Logan
Known for his soft touch and strong colors, Logan created memorable landscapes and still life paintings for over a decade. In the last few years his paintings have become more contemporary as he has ventured into abstract and non-objective painting styles. His paintings have a striking immediacy as he brings to the viewer his own world whether abstract or realism. His is forever fascinated with light. And, his lush and vibrant plein air and studio painting are included in private collections throughout the eastern US and Internationally.
Steve started painting seriously on the threshold of the 21st Century. He was drawn toward acrylic paints which were a new medium developed in the middle of the 20th Century. Although Steve works in other media, especially water colors and pastels, acrylics are his primary medium.Logan has experimented extensively with different techniques. Today his efforts are targeted at developing luminous abstract and non-objective paintings while retaining rich dark colors and opaque impasto strokes. His goal is to produce abstract and non-objective works that give the impression of depth in the painting surface.
