Steven Schmidt is a mixed media artist based in Oklahoma City with backgrounds in graphic design, marketing and broadcast media. Interested in systems that belong to something larger, even when that larger logic is missing or incomplete, Schmidt builds sculptural reliefs that occupy a blurred space between the familiar and the speculative. The work suggests systems or environments with implied function, where purpose is no longer clear, where use and meaning begin to drift apart. In Schmidt’s work, structure and precision organize complexity and hold order and ambiguity in the same space.
