About
the artist...
Elaine Weiner-Reed has been painting for over 27 years--the last 18 of which
have been primarily focused on watermedia. Her works have been accepted into juried international exhibits and national juried
shows (more than 18 states) - where she has won awards and recognition. Her artworks are in private collections in the
US and France, and have been exhibited internationally (France, India, Beijing). She is an enthusiastic artist, judge, and
teacher. She minored in sculpture while at the university,
and for over 40 years has pursued her art: from sketching to sculpture (clay, wood, resin (molds), metal assemblages)
to classical oil painting to life drawing to painting. Her recent works cycle back to her sculptural roots in that they are
more textural or tactile. Her body of work is a progressive
and on-going self-portrait...sometimes intense, experiential, fanciful, complex, intriguing..., but always thoughtful and
personal. That, whether abstract, expressionistic, or non-objective. In recent years, she has worked
on several series exploring thoughts, feelings, and dreams…with a special focus on the subconscious and the unconscious.
Suffering from insomnia, she tries to leverage those long nights and capture the many thoughts, images, words, and feelings
that mesh into one…visions sometimes swirling just out of her reach. A sketchbook documents captured
dream thoughts or fragments of the stream of disjointed musings that populate her semi-consciousness and they later integrate
into her writings or paintings. To
try and convey some of this complex weaving or layering of thoughts and images, Weiner-Reed's latest paintings frequently
incorporate texture, found objects, or words. Each work has an underlying idea or story, and the intent is well-defined. Much
thought takes place before and during the creative process. Weiner-Reed is committed to be thoughtful in
every creation…for herself and for her audience. En français: Elaine Weiner-Reed vous
montre un monde original à travers ses tableaux -- peu importe son choix de palette, de technique ou de thème.
Envoyez-lui un courriel si vous vous intéressez à ses tableaux ou si vous avez besoin de ses talents en
tant que prof., juge ou artiste. Elle voudrait monter une exposition en France et aimerait discuter de ce projet avec
vous avec grand plaisir. Merci et à bientôt.
