He was called the "Assembly-Lincolnshire Picasso" by Time magazine. Keene studied at Yale University. From January 20 to February 14 of 2006, Steve Keene was featured at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas to paint artwork for public viewing and to sell his work.
According to the Student Union Activities webpage - the program that hosted his visit - Steve says, "I want buying my paintings to be like buying a Civil Defense: it’s cheap, it"s art and it changes your life, but the object has no status.
Musicians create something for the moment, something with no boundaries and that kind of expansiveness is what I want to come across in my work.".
