Sam Bornstein
Sam Bornstein's paintings create an atemporal narrative space that flirts with a reality seemingly familiar to any viewer, yet is difficult to place. They tend to exist somewhere between a dream and the subconscious' translation of waking life, which beckons the viewer to apply their own experiences to complete the narrative. To facilitate this interaction the artist has used a variety of traditional and contemporary paint applications, evoking various sensations of physical motion and time, as well as suggesting a range of eras.
