Bio
Born in New York City, Steve Clark attended Trinity College where he studied Art History, won the John Curtis Underwood Prize for Poetry and began painting.
A Senior Editor for George Plimpton’s The Paris Review (1995 to 2002), Clark published fiction in The Paris Review, poems in magazines (Salinas, Trinity Review), and translated several books from the Spanish and Catalan. His first feature film, The Last International Playboy, which he co-wrote and directed, was released theatrically in the United States in 2009.
From the Ashes (Desde las cenizas), his first book of poems, along with a series of his “Black Note” paintings, was published to critical acclaim by Huerga y Fierro in Spain, March 2010.
His large canvas “Blue Line” was auctioned off favorably at the 15th Annual Holiday dinner in New York City hosted by Ross Bleckner, Bob Colacello, Donna Karan, Isabel Ratazzi and others to benefit the AIDS Community Research Intiative of America (ACRIA).
Saskia Miller presented a solo show of Clark’s new larger canvases entitled “The Girl is Blue + Refuses to Sing” at The West Broadway Gallery Space in New York City, February 2011.
The next month, five of Clark’s larger canvasses were presented by RAAWART at Villa Pacri in New York City, and another of his paintings “Red Stem” was auctioned at the UNFRAMED event to benefit ACRIA.
He lives in New York City.
