Austyn Weiner Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1989 -

“I took a plane from New York City to Los Angeles, and landed on the corner of Wilhardt and Naud. I have found myself inspired by the movement and form I see in the landscape of Los Angeles, and have begun shooting film again. Shooting is an integral part of my painting process; using it as a means of understanding color and composition, and still rendering a photograph, but one that has the ability to escape the confines of reality. These drawings and paintings are a collection of experiences, ideas, thoughts, and self portraits, birthed on the corner of Wilhardt and Naud.”
--Austyn Weiner
