His work has been exhibited and collected extensively throughout the United States and abroad. He holds an MFA in painting from Columbia University, where he studied with Richard Pousette-Dart and Dore Ashton among others. His awards include a studio residency at P.S.1 in Long Island City, and the Belin Foundation grant for painting, as well as numerous public commissions including the lobby of the Hines Building in New York City. Author of many published texts about the work of modern and contemporary painters, he also publishes the Steven Alexander Journal, a widely read weblog about contemporary art. He has been Artist-in-Residence at Studio Art Centers International in Florence and Visiting Artist at Parsons School of Design in New York, and is currently Associate Professor of Art at Marywood University.
