Steve MacDonald "The Last Dragon" at Fuse Gallery NYC Through to May 15th

Merging classic sewing craftsmanship with an urban edge, San Francisco based artist Steve Macdonald (aka Ramblin’ Worker), creates pieces that redefine the concept of fiber art. The humble craft of embroidery synthesized with vibrant color and a Pop aesthetic result in whimsical yet graphically bold imagery. Macdonald combines various concepts, mediums and a fresh perspective to present unique works that stretch the boundaries of contemporary craftsmanship.

Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, Steve Macdonald now lives and works in the art hub of San Francisco. He received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from the University of California, Berkeley. His work has been mentioned and reviewed in various media outlets including Nylon and Interview Magazines. Macdonald’s work turned heads all over Manhattan during the 2006 Deitch Parade when a tank he had crafted was towed across the city. His work has been shown in major cities all over the US and internationally including the Max Fish Gallery in New York and Gallery Three in San Francisco.

Fuse Gallery, 93 2nd Ave (between 5th & 6th Sts, 2nd Ave stop on the F), NYC, NY.
