Video LSteiger’s compositions are atmospheric, yet stylized. The clean, thoughtfully conceived lines and forms depict trams, roller coasters, and buildings at the height of pre-war industrial achievement. The collages, initially considered sketches or preparatory drawings, are now fully realized compositions. Like delicate jigsaw puzzles, intricately detailed images from found paper, gouache, and vintage maps are carefully cut and layered.
Wires, tracks and horizons extend through the works, creating an expansive scene where sky, ground and architecture move far beyond the confines of the canvas and paper.
