Steve Seeley 'Right Back at It Again'

Vertical Gallery is very proud to present ‘Right Back at It Again,’ a solo showcase for painter and printmaker Steve Seeley. ‘Right Back at It Again,’ on display May 2-31, unpacks the art of making art, drawing on the slapstick surrealism of classic cartoons to affectionately lampoon the day-after-day struggles and sacrifices that creatives face. 

‘Right Back at It Again’ follows just six months after Vertical presented Seeley’s collection ‘They Cometh!’ at Aqua Art Miami 2024 — a quintessential example of the productivity and pace demanded of working artists. Its 27 acrylic paintings depict the beginningless and endless cycle of artistic life, death and rebirth via the hyper-exaggerated visual grammar of Looney Tunes-style mayhem: i.e., heads spontaneously combusting, anvils falling from the sky and all the other stuff that Wile E. Coyote’s nightmares are made of.

Show runs May 2-31, 2025. Open Wed-Sat noon-5pm.
