Ben Weiner (born November 10, 1980) is an American contemporary artist. Weiner was born in Burlington, Vermont, and grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He graduated from Wesleyan University in 2003〔http://www.wesleyan.edu/about/alumni_more.html〕 and completed an independent study in painting at the Universidad de las Americas Puebla, Mexico. In 2003, Weiner worked as an assistant in the studio of Jeff Koons〔http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303745304576357681741418282.html〕 Weiner works in painting, video, and sculpture; his works often depict artificial materials at a perspective alien to the naked eye. Blobs of paint can appear as organic terrains and hyperpigmented, trompe-l'œil landscapes. His paintings chart the evolving topography of his palette, with the process creation of one painting generating source imagery for the next. Weiner's works meld glamour with the organic while reassessing the cycle of nature and artificiality. His work also focuses on the daily human experience of disassociation and imitation in the digital age, as well as the merging of object, subject and medium.〔(Official site )〕 Weiner's work has been included in exhibitions at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum,〔http://www.aldrichart.org/exhibitions/past/fullcircle.php〕 The Carnegie Art Museum (Oxnard, California), The Riverside Art Museum, and Artspace. His work is in collections including Sammlung Mondstudio (Germany), Progressive Insurance (Ohio), and the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation.〔http://www.pulse-art.com/newyork/exhibitor-list.php?exhibit=754&artist=4701〕 Weiner also designed video projections for the interdisciplinary theatrical production of ''La Historia de Llorar por El'' by Ignacio Apolo. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ben Weiner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
