Gorilla Pattern #2

Steve Seeley was born in a small town in central Wisconsin in 1979. There he was raised on a steady diet of hash browns, action figures, heavy metal and adventure. He received his BFA in printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point before moving to Columbus where he received his MFA from the Ohio State University. After graduating he moved away from the outer limbs of the midwest right into its heart, Chicago. There he currently resides, nourishing himself on the same diet as his childhood, with the exception of "adventure", which has been replaced by whiskey. His artwork has shown in galleries across the U.S. He is represented by the Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago.Spoke Art Gallery is proud debut our annual Summer Group Show, featuring a diverse range of local, national and international emerging artists in a salon-style exhibition.

Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
