Steen Rasmussen works with graphics in a wider aspect. Since the beginning of his career, he has been interested in graphic techniques, craftsmanship and the many layers of an image. He has consistently worked to tie together a figurative narrative language with abstract elements, and to think of opposites such as light and dark, as well as space and surface.

Thematically, he often deals with existential issues such as death, life and religion, and typically takes a site-specific dialogic platform as his starting point. He also frequently stages the story in an unconventional manner. Simultaneously, he challenges himself by experimenting with the boundaries of graphic practice.
