Steve DiBenedetto is best known for his intricate, densely layered paintings and prismatic pencil drawings, which read as dynamic exercises in restraint and excess. The roiling surfaces of his canvases often turn up such motifs as octopi, Ferris wheels, and helicopters, their organic and mechanical forms blending in an alliance of turbulence and grace. His work is featured in numerous museum collections, such as The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; and the Whitney Museum, New York, NY, as well as many private collections.
