Steven Parrino

Steven Parrino (1958–2005) was an American artiste and musician associated with energetic punk nihilism. He is best known for creating big modernist monochrome paintings (his colors were limited to monochrome black (or black-and-white), orange, red, blue, and silver) that he in a hostile way slashed, torn or twisted off their stretchers. He died in a motorcycle traffic crash in Greenpoint, Brooklyn at the age of 46.
