Steven Cerio has spent over two decades relentlessly documenting a universe devoid of death and decay. His work is most often identified with the elaborate, “polished” line-work and “reflective, germ-free, sugary shine” that led to a decade-long, ongoing collaboration with San Francisco-based, performance art group, The Residents. His video and animation work with The Residents was inducted into the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) with ceremony and screening. His vinyl figures, depicting the group, are currently available in the MOMA store.
After a quick stop at Jacaeber Kastor’s iconic gallery, Psychedelic Solution, Steven spent the next decade working as a freelance artist in New York City before relocating his studio to scenic Baldwinsville, NY. He is currently an adjunct professor at Syracuse University and is busy working on a variety of projects including: a book, a new gallery series of painting and sculptural work as well as a selection of prints exploring a range of experimental approaches.
A selection of his work was recently licensed for use in the upcoming Comedy Central sitcom “Workaholics”.
