Here is a world of fetishized violence, of absurdist melodrama, where avenging infants swoop down and inflict justice on the weakened structures and systems of corrupted adults. The children in Caleb Weintraub's paintings are powerful beings, enraged and violent at times, solemn and thoughtful at others. They are children from the past, the future, the present.
Caleb Weintraub writes: "These are windows into a reality where children lost to disease, to ideologies, to battles and brutalities celebrate and survive. Here are the kinderopfer, the infant conversos, the victims of Babylonia, and a hundred thousand pogroms. These are the ghosts of my people- or the ghosts of yours. They stand for a hope in some kind of cosmic accountability, in an innate arithmetical hunch that tells us that when things don’t add up before our eyes, they add up somewhere else."
This is his first one person show at the Peter Miller Gallery.
