Born on Nov. 4th 1950, as Steve Kreuscher. I was born and raised in a historical city, which a famous faith healer founded, in 1900, Zion Illinois USA. This accounts for me growing up as a very religious mystic.
As of Friday the 13th of June 2008, my name is now legally changed to "In God We Trust". To find out the reasons why I legally changed my name to "In God We Trust", go to the following;

First of all and above all, my artworks are an artistic autobiography of my life, my character and my strong beliefs and opinions.
Ironically, I started to paint and draw, through a devastating tragedy; of my best friend getting killed in a car accident, when I was 17 years old.
Within a few years, I had my first one man art show, in 1969.
Then in 1971, I took 3rd place for surrealistic sculptures in an art show at Buckingham Fountain, Chicago, Illinois.
Then a year later, in 1972, I took 2nd place for my surrealistic paintings, in an art show again at Buckingham Fountain, Chicago, Illinois.
Schooling; Semi-taught by, who I consider the holy trinity of the modern art world; Dali, Magritte and M. C. Escher. I have studied their works for 37 years now, as sincere and as faithfully, as someone studying for their doctor's degree in something. This qualifies me as what I call a semi-self-taught artist, and accounts for my surrealistic style. Since, I am a mystic and a surrealist, I call my personal style Mystical Surrealism.
Many people say that surrealism died in 1940. On the contrary, I declare that surrealism is alive more, than ever before, and that it will never die as long as our imaginations and our dreams continue. Surrealism is much more, than just a passing popular art trend. It rises up alive and fresh to every new generation. The tremendously, powerful freedom of surrealism reaches out, grabs and takes a hold of people, from every nationality and every generation since it began. Surrealism frees us to be ourselves and to think for ourselves. Therefore, surrealism is not dead, it has just branched out everywhere and into every artistic media you can think of, giving birth to so many grandchildren movements and styles everywhere.
My life has been full of severe tribulations and almost identical to Van Gogh's life, but 100 years later. The one main difference, between my life and Van Gogh's life, is that I survived, but only because of my four guardian angels;
( my four children ), and God through them.
I have learnt many very important truths through my tribulations. People know me for saying those truths, which I have learnt and written:
"Relationships are most important, everything else will vanish with the wind"
"Reguardless of your circumstances, happiness is a choice, for better, or for worse, in prospairity, or in poverty and in sickness, or in health"
I don't know who started the saying thank God it's friday, but I started the saying and I say it every monday morning to people who I come in contact with, "Thank God it's Monday !". |
