MARGIE STEINMANN RESUME
A native New Yorker, M Steinmann had an early introduction to fine art through her great uncle, the renowned outsider artist Harry Lieberman. After a successful career in the Los Angeles recording Industry, Steinmann reconnected with her artistic roots during a stay in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She currently lives and paints in Manhattan. Steinmann’s works have been described as "maps of our collective unconscious that we did not know existed before we saw them."

QUOTES Steinmann is fearless in taking her art to new levels. She doesn't replicate, she creates. Each painting is a journey that brings her personal history and her sublime use of color into harmony.
The oils of Margie Steinmann appear to allude to clustered figurative forms and landscape shapes without sacrificing their abstract autonomy. In canvases such as "Sweet Danger" and Keeping Track" for example, Steinmann generates a rhapsodic chromatic and gestural energy by virtue of her softly diffused yet vibrant colors and muscular paint handling.
Your creative efforts produced the most enormous, beautiful and special presentation of artwork. The work lit up the streets in the NoHo Neighborhood.
Margie Steinmann harks back, for the tactile surfaces and sheer chromatic sumptuosness of her abstractions based on still life motifs, to The School of Paris; yet Steinmann's compositions also possess an immediacy and a gestural vigor akin to that of The New York School, making them exciting hybrids in the best tradition of postmodernism.
Margie Steinmann combines School of Paris colors with New York School gestures in a highly successful synthesis. Steinmann is not afraid to be chromatically seductive and rugged at the same time, resulting in compositions at once vigorous and sumptuous.
Steinmann’s work literally leaps off the canvas in a joyous explosion of color and passion for life. They are an unleashing of her deep, personal emotions both positive and negative. Her experience in the popular music field is reflected in the overall lyrical, gestural quality of her compositions. She is fearless in exploring her visual language through lavish color, intricate patterns and bold forms. She is a fresh artistic force to be reckoned with.
Each one of Margie Steinmann's paintings is a self-contained universe of drama, emotion, and line that takes one on a journey; they are maps of our unconscious that we did not know existed before we saw them...and the colors are sublime.
Steinmann combines her theatrical and musical background with her study of painting and ceramics to produce highly engaging, innovative works of art. Her images are filled with the drama of expressive color juxtaposed with form. She captures the imagination of the viewer by holding nothing back. To view her work is to take a visual journey and experience the poetry of a profoundly personal language that is both compelling and mysterious. Animated shapes morph into figures and vice versa. Her lively brushwork is in a constant state of evolution. Her work is more than what meets the eye at first glance and it continues to haunt the viewer long after the first impression.
For a rare treat stop by the 3 To 1 Wine Bar for Margie Steinmann’s new show. These abstract works are immediately accessible with vivid colors from an explosive palette…explore uplifting and engaging art.
Living with Margie Steinmann's art is both exhilarating and calming at the same time. Her passionate use of color resonates with me because of its sense of abandon. The intense movement of the colors, seem playful. Yet the thoughtful balance she strikes in her brushstrokes, and forms she has created, give me a feeling of harmony.
