Artist in Focus: Steven Klein

"There is a desire to link photography with painting. My background is painting and I feel there is no connection between the two. It is as if the camera is linked to a sin, producing a bastard art form that we feel we must link to the past in order to give it credentials. I don't want those credentials. I have no need to apologise for photography. My archives exist only for sound business reasons; otherwise my work would be disposable. And there lies the contradiction, for I am a private person not an exhibitionist, I am a person who lives for the future, not the past; I am standing behind a camera in order that I can extend myself in front of it."

I would love to spend a day and just observe Steven. His work not only paints an exquisite picture, it also over flows with brooding intelligentsia and an ambitious streak to test those with a convoluted view of reality. His production goes beyond mainstream and he exceeds the expectations of those part of the industry every single time.
