Canadian born, London based Steve Bishop is the next in line of our five profiles on the short listed Converse/Dazed Emerging Artists Award entrants. Working with found, ready made and fabricated objects, 27-year-old Bishop’s work moves fluently between various stylistic reference points, from minimal through to pop art and on to the more organic. His highly realized pieces leave the viewer both intrigued and questioning the artists thought process. Seemingly a continuous explanation of his ideas and inspirations the works flit between those that cause quiet contemplation and those that deliver a visual punch line, however dry it may be. Having exhibited at numerous galleries internationally, including Twenty by Thirty, Melbourne, MWMN, New York and more recently as part of the Library of Babel/In and Out of Place show at the 176/Zabludowicz Collection and the current Newspeak/British Art Now Saatchi Gallery exhibition, both in London, Bishop’s work is already well on his way to receiving the critical interest it deserves.
