The first Summer of Love - 1967 - LSD. The second Summer of Love - 1989 - Ecstasy. Now - no Summer of Love - nitrous oxide. In this sculpture the famous smiley face is made of empty nitrous oxide canisters. These are embedded in a thick clear epoxy casting resin with a yellow and white acrylic painted background. The yellow acrylic has been dragged by the resin to give the impression of smiley's mind exploding. The resin has been cracked and then reset to complete the not-so-smiley image. The piece is in a wooden white painted frame.

Most recently Stephen's work has been featured in "And Now For The Good News (works from the Annette & Peter Nobel Art Collection)", at the Pera Museum, Turkey. Born in 1962 Stephen is a child of post war popular culture. His creativity began in '67 when his father set up a photographic darkroom in a cupboard under the stairs. There they made primitive b&w pictures, and Stephen hasn't stopped creating since. His work has been collected by Mark Bezos and many others around the world, and he likes to think his work gives pleasure, entertains and creates discussion.
