Jake Sheiner – BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS

Artist Jake Sheiner’s latest functions depict scenes of suburban isolation, established versus the backdrop of his home city of Los Angeles. Intimate in sizing, the acrylic paintings investigate liminal spaces — landscapes present at the transition amongst two other locations or states of currently being. “I am fascinated in how these silent areas can be perceived as deserted, or frozen in time, and how this a little bit unsettling emotion is also familiar in our minds,” he points out. “I feel this nostalgia for a area the viewer feels a link to, but has under no circumstances been, is partly due to the ubiquitousness of the LA landscape in pop society.”

Sheiner’s paintings are a visible diary of kinds, reflecting his lifestyle in Los Angeles by capturing scenes he has bodily encountered, both by chance or intentionally. “They are both of those voyeuristic and autobiographical in character,” he suggests. “Much like the methods of Edward Hopper, Fairfield Porter, David Hockney, or Lois Dodd, I am continually browsing for times deserving of investigation by way of the act of portray. The human body of operate exhibits that underneath the natural beauty, there is generally an undercurrent of isolation and loneliness, obfuscated by the around best temperature, and the panic of presenting a fewer than perfect self.”
