Steven Harrington lives and works in Los Ange-les, CA. Aside from owning and operating Na-tional Forest Design with fellow artist Justin Krietemeyer, he still finds time to work on both commissioned and self-inspired art projects of his own. Influenced by images, fashion and graphics discovered in Time Life Encyclopedias from 1965-1972, thrift stores, and The Moody Blues, his art might be termed contextual objec-tivism. That is, he views each piece he creates as a tangible object that is part and parcel of a larger context; the object helps define the con-text and the context helps define the object. Whatever feel or meaning the observer takes away from the piece belongs to the observer. Nothing is shoved down his or her throat. Dis-covery is the key. Some of his most recent proj-ects include a four board series for Burton snow-boards, contributions to the French clothing line Sixpack, and a series of silkscreen prints based on the idea of “community.” He has exhibited work in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Montreal, Tokyo, Melbourne and Barcelona.
