“My intention is to create works of mystery and drama, high contrast and atmosphere. All based on faint memories I have of wandering the city at night in my late teens, memories which become increasingly hazy and romanticized over the years. I will use quite a variety of materials to create a composition - including sketches, personal photographs, film stills, magazine or news clipping; in fact any visual device i stumble across that seems to correspond to the sub-conscious memory. Then from this manufactured reality produce a finished oil painting.” Steve Rosendale
