Résumé:
Published on the occasion of the exhibition organised by Ikon Gallery, Birmingham and The Power Plant, Toronto. This first monograph on Canadian artist Steven Shearer plunges the reader into the phenomenally versatile work he creates based on material in his extensive image bank of some 36,000 JPEGs of clippings, Xeroxes, and found photos. Shearer's obsession is his own development as a teenaged boy, and issues around teen identity and social class. The 67 works presented here - a mix of paintings, posters, highly intricate photo-collages, drawings and written poems, from his 2007 exhibitions at Ikon and The Power Plant galleries - while animated by the culture of Heavy Metal music, ultimately reveal the - need to belong - that helps define the human condition, especially during adolescence. Excellent interpretive essays by curators Nigel Prince, Helena Reckitt and Nancy Tousley.
