Steve Sangapore is a contemporary oil painter based in Boston, MA. Using vastly different stylistic approaches with various series’, his work can be described as an amalgamation of realism, surrealism and abstraction with thematic focuses on the human condition.

In this exclusive interview, Steve Sangapore discusses his work, which he dubs ‘Sci-Surrealism’, and its focus on the “known unknowns.”
