Steve Keene is often cited as the most prolific painter in the world: he estimates that he has more than 300,000 paintings in circulation. A new retrospective of the artist’s work is on view this month at the art gallery ChaShaMa.
On a recent afternoon, the painter Steve Keene stood inside “the Cage,” a room fashioned from chain-link fencing and large sheets of plywood, situated in the center of his home studio, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Keene, who is sixty-five, was applying dabs of pink paint from a plastic tub to sixty plywood panels, each affixed to the Cage by a loop of wire. He is often cited as the most prolific painter in the world: he estimates that he has more than three hundred thousand paintings in circulation.
Keene and his wife, Starling, an architect, have lived and worked in the studio for twenty-six years. The building was once an auto-body shop; Keene built and installed a series of lofts and risers for sleeping and lounging. The couple raised two daughters there, and share the space with two dogs and four cats.
