Intimate in measurement, the acrylic work discover liminal areas — landscapes present on the transition between two different places or states of being. “I’m inquisitive about how these quiet areas might be perceived as deserted, or frozen in time, and the way this barely unsettling feeling can be acquainted in our minds,” he explains. “I imagine this nostalgia for a spot the viewer feels a connection to, however has by no means been, is partly because of the ubiquitousness of the LA panorama in popular culture.”
Sheiner’s work are a visible diary of kinds, reflecting his life in Los Angeles by capturing scenes he has bodily encountered, both by probability or deliberately. “They’re each voyeuristic and autobiographical in nature,” he says. “Very similar to the practices of Edward Hopper, Fairfield Porter, David Hockney, or Lois Dodd, I’m continually trying to find moments worthy of investigation via the act of portray. The physique of labor exhibits that beneath the wonder, there may be usually an undercurrent of isolation and loneliness, obfuscated by the close to excellent climate, and the worry of presenting a lower than splendid self.”
