The Steven Parrino exhibition catalog, published by Gagosian Gallery in 2007, accompanies the retrospective of the artist’s work held in New York from September 25 to November 3 of that year. This hardcover edition explores Parrino’s radical approach to painting, where he fused abstraction with subcultural references, stripping the medium of its traditional constraints. Known for his “necrophiliac interest” in painting—reviving a form often declared dead—Parrino reimagined the canvas by distorting, tearing, and folding it away from the stretcher. His work draws a lineage from Malevich and Fontana to Warhol and Stella, while embracing the aesthetics of punk, underground cinema, comic book violence, and industrial culture. With black and silver as dominant colors—echoing everything from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to guitar amplifiers—Parrino’s art captures both destruction and reinvention. This catalog serves as a critical exploration of his legacy, highlighting his influential fusion of Minimalism, Pop, and rebellion.
