Lucas Reiner

1996, Found Drawing Painting, oil and acrylic on canvas, 83 x 66”

Lucas Reiner’s abstract paintings and drawings find their inspiration in daily moods, happenstance, and everyday experience. His works, which are as likely to be composed of oil paint as they are of dirt, often make references to humor, pop culture, and nostalgia. Reiner celebrates the exercise of creating artwork with visual statements that serve as a commentary on the chaotic collision of colors and brushstrokes taking place on his canvases.
