Screen ispart of a series of Indian ink paintings on glass based on layering processesand successive coats of black. Their overall alteration and constantstratification unveil transparencies and hues, plays on gradient black, andperspectives distantly echoing the classical technique of sfumato. For JustinWeiler, there are often similarities between the gesture of painting andsculpting because it is always about confronting oneself to the differentdimensions of the picture’s fabrication. A landscape of minimalistic, abstractstripes both organic and clinical, Screen is a mirror offering physicaland ghostly variations to the eye.
Born in 1990 in Paris, France
After his studies at the Fine Arts Schoolof Nantes, where he now lives and works, Justin Weiler graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2017. For a while, he was the artist in residence at the Académie de France in the Casa de Velazquez, in Madrid. He presented his work in many solo and collective exhibitions in France, China, Cyprus, and Luxembourg and received several awards. His practice with Indian ink revolves around the colour black and is part of a constant reinterpretation of pictorial questioning, materiality, and physicality. Through everyday motifs – awnings, shop windows, iron curtains, glasshouses, screens – the artist's works create threads and cuts that shift the painting's frames.
