Stephen Ives

Born in 1970. He spent his childhood in Australia. His artistic style presents a collage style, emphasizing contrast and balance, influenced by his childhood model making and painting. He uses a variety of found objects and non-traditional materials such as toys, model kits, aluminum and polymer clay to create visually compelling works. By collecting, manipulating, and combining materials, he incorporates pop culture, history, emotions, and ideas into his work to create unique and insightful artworks.
