Williamstown , MA
Eric Reinemann is a process oriented artist exploring themes of memory, temporality, and place.
Message
Eric Reinemann was a finalist for the Gottlieb Foundation Prize, a recipient of the North Adams Project Award, and a guest speaker for SUNY Plattsburgh's Visual Artist Series. His studio is currently located in the Greylock Works East Studios in North Adams, MA. He is open by appointment and during open studios.
Reinemann's layered abstractions rely on the structure of the visual world, which he takes apart, interprets, and rebuilds to create unique representations of time and environment. His drawings are known for their distinctly responsive line and his paintings for their shifting spaces and ethereal color density.
Born in Albany, NY in 1978, Reinemann found his way into his career in art through landscape photography. He studied painting at SUNY Plattsburgh and went on to receive his MFA from the University of Oregon in 2003. Since then he has actively shown at universities and galleries across the country, most recently at UNC Asheville, UMASS Amherst, and Coker University.
Statement
I am a process oriented artist exploring themes of temporality, memory, and place.
My art is autobiographical, as an action it allows me to explore my sensory experience, and as a finished object it expresses the time-sense of living that is outside language.
Each series is unique in conception, execution, and presentation. They are often guided by the flow of life and current expressive needs. Various forms of drawing, photography, and digital media are all used to inform the painting process.
