The concept of Steve Keene Art developed around 1993 and grew in part from Steve’s friendship with and admiration of musicians. He spent a few years as a DJ on a radio station where, surrounded by thousands of records, it was harder to find something he didn’t like than something he did. Steve says, “I want buying my paintings to be like buying a CD: it’s cheap, it’s art and it changes your life, but the object has no status.
