Join us at Transformer for a conversation with artist Steve Dore on the opening day of A Good Recluse is Hard to Find. Program is open to the public and free of charge.

Steve Dore is a self-taught American artist residing in London, England. He became involved with art by making flyers and record covers for local punk rock bands in his native state of Connecticut. This experience led to further explorations into the visual world informed by a decidedly underground and homemade aesthetic. Music also informs Dore’s intuitive approach, which is most notable in his involvement with Washington, DC based band The Casual Dots. Unencumbered by any traditional training in the art world, Dore has developed his own particular style through experimentation with various mediums, and a healthy sense of irreverence and humor.
