Steef Offerhaus

My drawings, paintings, and murals explore raw, subcultural realities that polite society doesn’t notice, or chooses to ignore. With bold coloring, loose linework, and a gritty ambiance, I depict the stories of outsiders: punks, sex workers, skaters, wanderers, and rebels who refuse to compromise their identity. A dominatrix feeding her sub in a supermarket aisle; a group of homeless ravers passed out under a highway bridge after a warehouse party -these are the kinds of scenes I bring to light.

I’m drawn to outsiders because I’ve always felt like one myself. Through collaboration and deep engagement with these communities, I document their stories not as shock, but as a tribute to authenticity. My work invites viewers to question social norms and celebrate those who live by their own rules -often in full view, but rarely truly seen.
