ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Elephant Man is part of the Rockaway series of oil and acrylic on Bristol paper. These works are meant to provide a portal into the viewer’s inner life, or dream space; in other words, artwork can act as a go-between for one’s subconscious and conscious mind, or perhaps a catalyst for feelings and sensations related to deep memories. The work itself should also provide a striking and memorable experience for the viewer, as when one first meets a singular person, then develops an evolving relationship over time. (Indeed, this is a good metaphor for art collection or repeated museum visits.) Each work is 19 x 24 inches, and was begun in 2015, in a studio in Far Rockaway, New York, provided by Chashama, a non-profit dedicated to providing affordable space to artists and performers. The works are all driven by the action of painting and by an improvisational flow. They are all intensely colorful and were painted over the course of years, with many transparent layers of paint. They also have a lot of texture. Created in conjunction with the larger works on canvas “Ode to Philip Guston” and “The Moon Curtain”, their early evolution began by catching acrylic drips that fell off the canvases. Influences for the works include Paul Klee, Kathy Bradford, and John Walker. The work was photographed with a Nikon D800 (full-frame sensor) and high CRI 3000k Soraa LED bulbs.

Dean Radinovsky

I am an abstract painter who also does life studies and photography for both research and enjoyment. In my abstract work I strive for a contrapuntal, layered, structured denial of perceptual logic that allows the attentive viewer to achieve a Zen state, a floating dream condition that sidesteps rational thought and connects consciousness with the subconscious. Painting celebrates the prize of evolution: awakening. I was born in Lancaster, PA in 1971, and now live in Woodside, Queens. Among my influences are those I’ve studied with, including John Walker, Robert Birmelin, Robert Andriulli, Jenny Snyder, Cynthia Carlson, Jeri Robinson, Don Kimes, and Arthur Cohen. Artist Statement I always have many paintings in progress—large and small. Many works going consecutively allow for a succession of incremental changes. Large or small, the works may continue for years. Until the painting is resolved, what I see in the work is the springboard for reaction. As Georges Braque says: “the painting is finished when it has effaced the idea.” The works in progress are seen over time by my own shifting selves as I am shaped and influenced by others’ work, including literature, music, and film; and the changing light and seasons and the inflection of experience. The hours work in aggregate, and the information flowing out of the painting is stored by the collector’s subconscious to be consciously apprehended over time. I am also an art collector. Perhaps akin to the varied production of a novelist or filmmaker, my artistic production is varied and reflects different facets of my life and personality. I work on several parallel bodies of work that I can describe thusly: Painting as a poetic language The sculptural manifestation of painting as a process Love of film and portraiture Love of and inspiration by the female form, as a reflection of what that means historically and now. The interplay of light and structure --Dean Radinovsky Influences I haven't studied with: Sassetta, Monet, Balthus, Morandi, Cezanne, Braque, Marden; Dostoyevsky, Bolano, Flaubert; Robert Bresson, Jean Renoir, Jean Vigo, Antonioni, Ozu and many, many more.
