ABOUT

The painter describes his paintings as "industrial figurative."

The highly layered surface comprises not only computer manipulated typography and atmospheric graphs of the surface of Mars, but also rough fabric, and found objects like broken cassette tape cartridges and spark plug boxes. All are worked into the mix as compositional elements. Depending on the light, and mood of the viewer, it is possible to see something new with every viewing.

The painter uses unorthodox techniques to apply and manipulate paint. The paint is pushed, pulled, scratched, scraped, and "attacked," according to Siege, before he then uses an industrial belt sander to grind away at the results.

The variety of subjects ranges from engines & tools to the human form. Siege also builds his own frames out of recycled industrial material.
