| With the publication of Steve Powers: Studio Gangster, Powers records 5 years of paintings that distill the complete range of human emotion into readily recalled and related memes. These visual archetypes are aptly described by Powers as “a synthesis of word and image to create a new emotional revelation.”
This book is published on the occasion of his Fall 2007 exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. Powers is a 2008 Fulbright scholar and has shown at Deitch Projects, the 49th Biennale, the Luggage Store and the Liverpool Biannual in 2004.
