Stephen Lack is an artist and filmmaker living and working in New York City. His early films Montreal Main and The Rubber Gun explored the ambiguity of sexual relationships in the promiscuous downtown scenes of Montreal and were premiered in the New Directors programs at the Whitney Museum and Museum of Modern Art in New York in the 1970s.

After working on several films with David Cronenberg, Lack dedicated his art practice to painting, having held over forty solo exhibitions in New York and internationally. He is one of the seminal artists of The East Village Scene. His work is in many major private and public collections including Chase Manhattan Bank, RBC Dominion Securities, The Brooklyn Museum, The Ralph Lauren Family Collection, the Rubell Family Collection, the National Gallery of Australia, and the New York Public Library Print Division, among others.
