Winslow Garage

 
Winslow Garage is pleased to present a selection of sculptural wall works by Los Angeles artist Jordan Steinberg. Steinberg, whose work is rooted in material abstraction, has worked in the film industry for last 30 years while maintaining a working studio practice in Echo Park. Many of his works are assemblages of unusual textures organized by ropes, clusters, grids, and pathways. Embracing the properties of puddles of glue, the delicacy of wax paper, and the rigidity of found wires, Steinberg unifies disparate materials with a sophisticated sense of color and through the repetition of marks, tears, and cuts. Larger paintings made during the Covid lockdown consist of tiny circles drawn in a multitude of rows to count the days and pass time. These meditative works recall the hypnotic mark making of Aboriginal paintings and vibrate with the energy of their making. Steinberg’s practice is rigorous and Winslow Garage is delighted to show a tiny portion of his prolific production.

Jordan Steinberg grew up in New York City and absorbed the dynamic cultural happenings of the 1970’s and 80’s. Early influences include street art, graffiti, and artists such as Keith Haring and Joseph Beuys. Steinberg attended The School of Visual Arts form 1987-1991 and relocated Los Angeles in 1992.
