Piece description from the artist
In this piece, I'm playing with the idea of what's real and what's imagined. It's not exactly a waterfall, and it's not exactly a sunset – it's both, and neither. I've layered the oil paint to capture that moment when light and water become one fluid motion. The reds and blues clash and blend, creating a portal that's always shifting. When you look at it, I want your mind to waver between seeing a cascading waterfall and a sky ablaze with the last light of day. It's about that space where familiar things become strange and wonderful. This painting is an invitation to step into a world where the boundaries between earth and sky, motion and stillness, are beautifully blurred.
Winston Chmielinski (b. 1988 in Boston, MA) engages with painting through organic dissolutions and reconstitutions of the figure. Forms forego their contours, suspending Chmielinski's paintings out of narration and into insistence—of paint, of presence, and of perception.
Following a decade of critically acclaimed solo presentations in EU and US, inclusion in the 2013+2017 Venice Biennales, and spotlights at VOLTA NY, The Armory Show NY, Liste, and Positions Berlin, Winston now helms a creative studio in Berlin and is preparing a new body of work, to be released in 2023.
