About the Artist:
Fine art, defying boundaries
In Elaine Weiner-Reed’s own words, "My art focuses on unraveling the complexity
and mystery of human emotions, behavior, and relationships, featuring the
individual within or outside of a group dynamic. Layers of color, shape, and
line etched with calm or charged energy coalesce to convey a mood: intimacy,
loneliness, alienation, joy, solidarity, sensuality, conflict, harmony, or
mystery. Depending on the story, I zoom in on an individual, defining
their character in layers, or I depict them only as silhouettes or
after-thoughts. Are they center stage or out of focus? Do they wear a mask?...
And if my paintings were songs, how would they sound to you?..."
Note: This
line of thinking was the genesis for EWR’s "Every Painting is a Song"
initiative and official first annual competition for writers, songwriters, and
musicians.
