Young Cowboy (2023) Painting by Randall Steinke

Randall Steinke is a contemporary American painter. He employs fauvist figurative painting, which combines the use of shapes and strong colors on figurative subjects to create an artwork. Each piece of art that he creates serves as an intentional experiment that opens the door for further experiments to come. He begins the painting by observing the surroundings and noticing shapes, such as those that result from variations in texture, color, light, and darkness, among other things. Once he obtains a picture that is full of shapes, he attempts to fit the composition into a picture that makes sense. After that, the shapes and composition are transferred to canvas, where a unified image is interpreted and produced. Color is not a key consideration when working with the shapes at this stage of the artwork's development, although colors do start to show up. When he was satisfied with the shapes on the canvas, he started to imagine colors that would go well with the shapes. Other colors then start to appear as a result.
