Steven Spazuk
Today I ran into the work of Steven Spazuk. He has worked for design advertisements and graphic design, however he has garnered a following with his haunting paintings produced with soot and fire. Soot painting is an ancient art developed by cave dwellers and indigenous people. According to Spazuk, he developed his technique by a mixture of trail and error and by sheer accident. His work largely focuses on portraiture and body parts which he sometimes represents quite literally or in an abstract manner. Spazuk has designed over 20 different stamps for Canada Post. Yet another reason why I NEED to go to Canada!
