Castello 925 presents a solo exhibition of paintings by Martin Weinstein in the Castello 780 gallery starting on September 16 and running through November 26, 2023. The exhibition, entitled Inside | Outside, considers the layers of space that range from the interior of a room to the wide expanse of the landscape beyond. By working on several sheets of acrylic, Weinstein isolates these different distances with deft, gestural brushwork. It is the manipulation of these layers and the ability to “reshuffle” each of them one in front of another that creates confusion as to what is near and what is far away. These layers are in turn encased in a clear, acrylic box that allows the ambient light to shift and change the colors of paintings while glowing through one another. These sculptural, illuminated painting boxes act as containers that hold a period of time as well as an ever-changing kaleidoscope of space.
