ABOUT
THE ARTIST 
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.
