Influenced by historical figures of American art -- including Thomas Eakins, Edward Hopper, and Paul Cadmus -- Hugh Steers (1962-1995) applied those influences to his often disconcerting work about mortality, isolation, and AIDS. This current exhibiton on view through February 14, 2015 at Alexander Grey Associates shows his transition from interior paintings to sunlit outdoor scenes that are no less uneasy feeling for all their bright color and sunlight.
