Martin Weinstein
Inside
Outside
Weinstein’s relationship to these places, most crystalline in their painted form, is informed by repeat viewings from alternating perspectives
and times.
Martin Weinstein’s paintings of Rome, Venice, and Lucca are made on location, over several sessions, and illustrate a certain time and a certain experience had by the artist and his partner, Teresa (who appears in several works), on their travels throughout Italy. Painting what he sees and what he wants to see in each locale, the selection of twelve works in Inside/Outside can be simultaneously read as a travel log and a snapshot of a time and a relationship–each are an attempt to capture or make permanent a specific memory of a specific place.
