Steven Lang, Lovin' the Lonesome, oil, 12x9 |
Steven LangAs a young boy, Steven Lang fell in love with a book of paintings of the Old West by Frederic Remington. He knew then that some day he would strive to become part of and contribute to the world of western fine art. Over the years, that book has become one of his prized possessions and Remington remains to this day Langs' most influential western artist. Being of Pawnee and Cherokee descent, the Native American Indian will always be his favorite subject. However, to fully depict the legacy of America's Western Heritage, his body of work encompasses the entire genre of the American West. In Southwest Art Magazine April 2000, Lang was featured as " The Story Teller ", filling his canvases with spellbinding tales of the Old West and captivating his audience with story lines that give accurate description of historical facts to his paintings. As Lang states, " I decided I was not going to do a painting unless I had something to say". His narratives have become a hallmark of his work and a much-appreciated insight for his collectors. In a few short years, the name Steven Lang has become synonymous with fine western art. He has established himself with realistic oil originals and is sought out by private and corporate collectors here and abroad. |
