Originally from the small town of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Stephen Cimini first studied fine art at the San Francisco Art Institute and eventually moved back east to study at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He wrestled with various art forms from wood constructed sculpture to conceptual environments before landing on abstract painting. In 1994, he began developing the vocabulary for his current work, which originates from the linear landscape of Manhattan and has since mutated to geometric spaces and their relationships to each other while still adhering to its architectural origins.
