Remarkable mastery of his media for so young an artist. My 18 year old niece paints 'Matisses' that I believe Matisse would have been proud of, but the situation isn't as rare as it was when I was her age. It's all quite disturbing as well as impressive and must reflect a new found confidence among young artists in their powers of observation. You can be sure that Steve Ketchum didn't get his Placement because large institutions are ALWAYS scared of talented individuals. They always come with their own opinions and institutions can't accommodate that.
