Steven Parrino (b. 1958 – d. 2005, USA) was an artist known for his radical deconstructions of painting, sculpture, and noise music. Working with torn, twisted, and mutilated canvases, Parrino reanimated the supposed "death" of painting with aggressive physical interventions. His practice, grounded in nihilistic aesthetics and subcultural references, challenged modernist purity with a visceral embrace of collapse and destruction.
