Biography

John Steinberg was born and raised in Hamilton. Amidst studying Philosophy, he left to China twice to teach English. The industrial landscapes in both Hamilton and China have inspired his photographic and digital work. John Steinberg is a photographer and digital artist. His work has been displayed in Toronto, Hamilton and Cambridge.

What inspires me?

Old buildings inspire me. I imagine how much they've changed, how much life has walked through their doors, how much the city and the world have really changed over the course of their existence. The conflict between nature and man inspires me, from things as simple as a sprout poking through a crack in concrete to a building that has decayed to a point where plants grow haphazard throughout its ruined interior.

Industrial spaces inspire me by their disregard for aesthetics in their pursuit of function. A factory isn’t trying to sell me or convince me of anything. It’s not trying to direct my attention anywhere. It simply is. I love that honesty; it’s a rare find anywhere else.

On interpretation.

Discovery and interpretation I think are as much up to the viewer as they are up to the artist. Everything someone sees or interacts with is influenced so much by what is deep down inside of that person, that I doubt any two people really see a work of art in exactly the same way. I think what someone gets from a work of art may perhaps say more about the viewer then the artist him/herself. So I invite you to explore a small corner of my world, turn over a few stones and hopefully find a little piece of yourself within.
