About
Stephen Lipman is a native New Yorker who lives and works in the Bronx, New York.
His work has been shown in numerous venues in NYC and beyond. He received a BFA in Fine Art and Philosophy from Manhattan College, NY and continued his art education at the Art Students League, NY.
The work from the beginning has been process oriented. A system is set in place with specific parameters that are applied to a range of text and image based subjects, from his earlier graffiti tags, targets and book pages, to his current work with easrly botanicals.
"I’m interested in adding my thoughts to images that have gone through a history before reaching me. The original 'author' creates a book or image. It goes through a process of reproduction; scanned, printed, photographed, etc. Later the object or image is copied, printed, shared, annotated... all before I find it. Then I create the work based on the imageas, in effect, collaborating with the original author, despite the passage of time."
