Steve DiBenedetto's furiously-worked, otherworldly paintings broadcast the hallucinogenic, techno-shamanist writings of Terence McKenna and the metaphysical ruminations of Arthur Young, the inventor of the famous Bell helicopter. They have absorbed early Surrealism à la Salavador Dalí and Roberto Matta, with a hint of the decalcomania of Max Ernst, while the dynamic and stark graphite lines of the drawings have an animated control. DiBenedetto has received a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, a Rosenthal Award, and Guggenheim Fellowship Award. In 2005 he was included in a noteworthy group show at The Whitney Museum of American Art, entitled "Remote Viewing." His works are included in numerous museum collections such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Whitney Museum, and his paintings and drawings have been exhibited in the US and internationally. The artist lives and works in New York City.
