Infected by Art Book - Volume 11

Weinreb’s work is known for its fusion of three time periods: the past, present and future. Bygone eras and lives intermingle with 

contemporary events while echoes of the future, specifically the human connection to space exploration, send ripples through our 

understanding of memory and time. Weinreb begs both himself and his viewer to question their own perception of sequential events and how our own memories alter our perception and being. What we retain, how these recollections change as they are passed down and how much they transform in the individual’s mind, are factors of 

consideration and contemplation. A questioning of how much we truly remember and why, is toyed with and explored through 

Weinreb’s work. 

 

Time is a major theme found throughout the artists portfolio. Phases of life are represented through skeletal beings, futuristic landscapes, ebullient and strong female personifications and abundances of nature, resulting in a distortion of linear sequences. He links all of these elements together in these deeply personal yet universally manifested narratives that asks us, as humans, to rethink what we know and break down our personal tenets and convictions. Weinreb’s playful juxtaposition of the past with echoes of the future, bridge the gap between what we as humans have learned and what remains beyond our purview during contemporary times.
