Steve Driscoll is a young artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Throughout the last decade he has utilized the industrial material urethane, using a free-pour technique to explore the relationship between abstraction and representation. Driscoll initially offered very little direction in the path of his materials, allowing them to mingle and separate without interference. In his most recent work, he strikes a careful balance between happenstance and calculation; poured urethane still flows and pools, but now a meticulously planned substrate of grids and gullies guides the viscous material. The resulting work is a celebration of both colour and the materiality of paint.
