"The oneiric content of the paintings by Steve Ackerman place them on the very fringe of surrealism. The scenes derive from preconceived ideas, and develop with aesthetic consideration for colour harmonies and compositional balance. The themes are based on surrealist concepts of time and logic interspersed with associations and interpretations of recursive obsessions and memories painted in a fantasy of imaginative invention"
