A man of the world, Steele was born in Croatia, studied in Cape Town, and has exhibited everywhere from Pretoria to Buenos Aires. Appropriately, his work sits in private and public collections around the globe. His 2021 exhibition “Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves” featured over 100 paintings of erotic actors, memorialising the joy (and pleasure) they have bequeathed the world.
