Nihilism Is Love
Steven Parrino
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2020, 208 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 25 × 21 cm, English
Price: €58 (Out of stock)

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Steven Parrino: Nihilism Is Love at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, 21 February – 16 August, 2020. Predominantly a painter, in his oeuvre Parrino developed a unique visual idiom that, on the one hand, draws on various subcultural movements and, on the other, displays clear references to the history of visual art of the twentieth century and beyond. Parrino’s work is defined by an unconditional will to be free that stems from American biker culture and is also influenced by punk rock existentialism.

With texts by Konrad Bitterli, Catherine Dossin, Fabian Flückiger, Pierre Huber, Friedemann Malsch, Matthew McCaslin, Olivier Mosset, Bob Nickas, Amy O’Neill.
