Steven Lamb, a renowned artist based in Montreal, has consistently
demonstrated a unique ability to blend the abstract with the
tangible. His work, often inspired by dreams and the subconscious,
explores themes of surrealism and fantasy, pushing the boundaries
of traditional art forms. Lamb’s use of vivid colors and intricate
patterns captures the viewer’s imagination, inviting them to delve
deeper into the narrative of each piece. His exploration of universal
themes such as the human desire for knowledge, the struggle
against adversity, and the quest for spiritual growth resonates with
a wide audience. His work is a testament to his boundless creativity
and his commitment to pushing the envelope in the art world.
THE ASTONISHING MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSAL DANCE: This artwork captures the
universe’s rhythmic patterns, akin to a cosmic ballet. The Creator is portrayed joyfully
engaging in creation, inviting viewers to marvel at life’s intricate web and find beauty in
the dance of creation.
WHEN THE HEAVEN DREAMS: A profound connection with the spiritual or divine, a state
of deep introspection, spiritual growth, and a longing for transcendence beyond earthly
existence, offering insights into one’s innermost thoughts, feelings, and aspirations.
CIRQUE DE LA LUNE, CIRCUS OF THE MOON: Influenced by Freud’s philosophy and the
surrealists’ focus on dream reflections, the work explores the intersection of surrealism
and fantasy, transforming the alienation of life’s circus into a realistic painting.
THE LAST SUPPER: Drawing inspiration from da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” this
provocative piece invites viewers to engage with its symbolism and interpretations,
fostering open dialogue and reflection, and encouraging a diverse conversation about
its implications for contemporary politics and society.
SCREAMING SILENTLY IN SPACE: This artwork captures the silent march of vivid,
carnival-dressed creatures into an empty space, symbolizing accidental evolution and
the emergence of consciousness, while posing deep philosophical questions about
existence, and the existential threats that come with consciousness.
