Built to Last: The Art of Steve Marcus

"The exhibition of artwork by New York City-based artist, Steve Marcus,is a series that seamlessly melds hot rod and motorcycle culture with Jewish themes and philosophy.  Marcus’ unique style, inspired by cartoons and underground comics, explores the themes of tradition, spirituality, and Jewish culture in a fun and refreshingly accessible approach to contemporary Jewish art. In a world that is speeding further forward toward the horizon, Marcus masterfully uses a variety of different media as vehicles that simultaneously take the viewer on a journey down the open road and the straight and narrow path that drives through the inner world of the Jewish people. Marcus has contributed to the counterculture before his own midlife renewal and this series showcases his love of life on the road while combining his passion for Rabbinical studies and Jewish culture. The exhibition subtly pays homage to his rebel youth and nomadic spirit, mesmerizing the viewer by visually harnessing the power of spirituality and horsepower. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines." via​⁠ ‪@jewishmuseumofflorida-fiu8919‬
