sculptureI’ve only recently taken to sculpture,with my present work focused onfound-object creations. For me, likemost of my creative work, the piecesare born from concept and metaphor,and imbued with life through assem-blage. There is little that’s more re-warding than giving new life to objectsthat have been cast aside.

Steve Lyons’s work is fast becoming some of the most recognized art in the USA and Europe. He gained recognitionfor beginning his full time career as a painter by selling paintings on scrap lumber pieces off his front porch. In 2012,while doing so, he was “discovered” by an international art critic from Europe for his re-invention of the impastotechnique in which he uses heavy layers of paint to create image itself, such as dunes, water and still life. Today,many cultural writers credit him with developing and making popular what they describe as “sculptural painting.”In 2017, Lyons was named 2nd in the world in Abstract Expressionism for “Women and the Universe”(see page 20). In2016 the American Art Awards named Lyons second place in the world in impressionism for “Seeking Refuge”(page 7) and in thetop five for abstract expressionism. Other awards include being the first American to win the shared exhibition prizeat the Stadtgalerie, Westerland, Germany, and the first American to open the Independence Day Celebrations in La Paz,Mexico. In 2014, he was the first American awarded private mentorship with Finland’s premier living artist and designer,Markku Piri. In March 2015, Lyons made international news when he was the victim of an art heist totaling $100,000.His art was eventually recovered and was recently on display at an art exhibition in Berlin. His work has been exhibitedall over the world including Freising (Munich), Berlin, La Paz, Mexico and Poznan, Poland, as well as New Haven, CT,Boston, MA, Old Greenwich, CT, and Cincinnati, and is held in collections by individuals and institutions.Lyons was born and raised in Portsmouth, Ohio, located on the northern banks of the Ohio River. He began paintingas a child and by age eight had won his first competition, in Canton, Ohio. He earned a B.A. at Eastern Kentucky Uni-versity, and an M.A. at Louisiana State University—where he majored in journalism and minored in art and was a Wal-ter Hitesman scholarship recipient.
