Thank you for visiting the art website of Steven Hight, a San Francisco artist working in various media. Primarily a painter working with acrylic and oil paint on canvas and wood panels. His abstract paintings are covered with a thick texture of paint applied with large paintbrushes and a variety of palette knives. The painted images are abstract expressionist with architectural references and relate, in terms of nuance, to the landscape tonalist paintings of the turn of the 20th century. He also utilizes some old school cameras to produce vintage effect photographs which are mounted on wood panels and covered with an encaustic medium. These photographs depict scenes in his environs emphasizing strong light, dramatic shadows and a somewhat surreal vision.
