Steve Brudniak Bio
Steve Brudniak was born in Topeka Kansas and later raised in Houston Texas where where he graduated from high school. An early interest was cultivated in film, writing, acting, performance and music production. After a short stint working in the graphic arts industry, he opened Victorian Recording Studios in Houston and began making assemblage sculpture infused with science elements at about the same time. By the late 80's the work was gaining exposure and making its way into important collections including the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and local and international art publications such as Art in America.
Steve moved to Austin Texas in 1988 and began full time production. In 1999 a five-year home/studio construction project took precedent during which time little art was made or shown. Full-scale production has resumed since 2005 with a new body in the making and plans for a tour of the work.
Brudniak remains involved in experimental performance, music, and percussion and in film making and acting and can be seen in Rick Linklaters Waking Life and other films.
Today, books, calendars, documentaries, films and hundreds of publications and web sites feature his assemblages which can be found in the collections of the San Antonio Museum of Art, The El Paso Museum of Art and The Art Museum of South Texas at Corpus Christi as well as in the Houston Museum and many private and corporate collections world wide.
