Martin Weinstein: “Seeing Through Times,” An Exhibition of Paintings

May 3 to June 3, 2023, The Courthouse Gallery, Lake George, New York

For a time, Martin Weinstein was an abstract painter, until he came to a point of transition while searching for ways of painting that would satisfy his love of the visible world. This search gradually led him to a technique of painting on layered interlocking sheets of clear acrylic panels.

Through this process, a single work is composed of several distinct painted views of the same location at different times, often a combination of different lighting related to distinct weather or seasonal changes. His unique approach captures the essence and experience of a place, often the landscape near his home in NY’s Hudson Valley, revealing a deep connection with its history, personal memories, as well as the joy of observing the natural world.

Weinstein says: “These sheets enable me to juxtapose elements of visual material either in discrete layers or more intuitively so that passages float upward toward the surface, influencing successive layers of paint. The layers are painted on different days, months or even years so that the paintings become an investigation of time and memory as well as a diary of acts of perception.”

Martin Weinstein’s work was presented in recent solo exhibitions across the U.S. and Internationally. Learn more about his work at the artist’s website.
