Steve Ehret (Monster Steve) is a self-taught painter inspired by both the natural world (and bustling cities or towns). He takes in his surroundings as most humans tend to, but he’s inspired by the little moments, textures and variances in time or color that maybe some don’t highlight or miss altogether. He makes careful observations of moss spreading over a fallen tree, or the way Terry talks to his lonely neighbor. The way Carl screams at his mom for not getting him the super sized fry. He takes mental notes, snapshots of these scenes that can often inspire the phantasmal settings of his paintings. Characters or beings of all shapes and sizes pop up often just to interact or hang within these places. His goal is not realism, but rather a sense of gravity, atmosphere, wonder, grief and at times humor. whether working in oils, with mixed media, or on a mural. His pieces can almost be viewed as an escape from every day life but underneath it all there we are.
