Austyn Weiner creates lyrical abstractions utilizing oil, oilstick, pastel, and printed matter collage. Her practices in poetry and photography further inform her painterly sense, as do her surroundings—including the settings of her studio in Frogtown, Los Angeles, near the LA River, and Èze in southern France. The artist notes, “I use memory as a medium—conjuring and reframing my recollections so I can process my experiences and further understand myself. It is a lifelong pursuit.” In addition to drawing influence from her own life, family history, and Jewish-American heritage, Weiner has been inspired by figures across multiple disciplines including Joan Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Lucas Samaras, Joan Didion, and Lee Krasner. An action painter, she embodies emotional and intuitive states to render her gestural compositions, as well as channeling the rhythms of music in a synesthetic marriage of color and sound. Portrayed through full-body physicality, Weiner’s paintings evoke echoes of the temporal, psychological, and natural worlds she inhabits.
