Jonathan
Weiner (a.k.a VINER) Bio:
Jonathan Weiner (a.k.a VINER) employs the traditional methods of oil painting to create a body of work that explores the state of man in the 21st century New York. Through allegory, surrealism, and stylization, his images confront significant themes facing contemporary society such as rapid change, violence, alienation, morality, and power. Jonathan uses layers of symbolism, both conscious and subconscious, to construct somewhat ambiguous narratives that invite and challenge the audience to be an active participant in the viewing experience.
Paintings and illustrations by Jonathan Weiner have been published in/received recognition from Juxtapoz Magazine, Communication Arts, American Illustration, The Society of Illustrators, Print Magazine, and The Art Director's Club.
Jonathan Weiner was born somewhere in New York in June of 1976. He was raised up and down the east coast, and upon graduation from RISD in 1998, he moved to Brooklyn, NY, where he continues to live and work.
