About The Artwork
In "Shipwreck," I sought to strike a balance between abstract and representational elements. I initially composed the piece as an abstract painting, working gradually from transparent to more opaque paint. The goal, compositionally, was to move the viewer's eye fluidly around the piece, using the mark-making, color work, and opacity to create a harmony, rather than a hierarchy, between the different visual elements. I introduced the eye into the piece for two reasons. The first was to include a representational element in an otherwise abstract painting without it becoming the sole focus of the piece. The second was to turn the viewer's gaze back on themselves. In doing so, I aimed to problematize the categorization of representational art as objective. The piece's title comes from a couplet in WB Yeats' "The Wanderings of Oison" that I feel epitomizes the spirit of the painting: "And like a sunset were her lips, / A stormy sunset on doomed ships."

United States
My goal is to create work that speaks across genres and traditions. My training in painting was in classical realism, but I work mostly in abstraction and surrealism. Regardless of genre, I balance representation with emotional communication. To me, the best paintings move their viewers without sacrificing technical proficiency, no matter how abstract or representational. You can find more of my work at www.slreichman.com.
