Collection Artist Caleb Weintraub has Exciting New Show "We Must Go and Tell the King" at Peter Miller Gallery in Chicago

A COUPLE OF IMAGES FROM THE SHOW






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.

Artist's Statement

The human form is fascinating to me. The flowing shapes that bend or stretch or fold or change simply because of a person's mood. Forms that may follow the same blueprint, but are not quite the same on any two people. I love catching the subtle differences in every different person's look...or in the same person for that matter...because they just woke up or because they are under water or because they are sad, or maybe they are thinking of something very wonderful. Each of those things changes them, and I can never tire of a subject matter that is so constantly fluid.

Creating the technique I call Circulism, as a derivative of Pointillism, was my way of incorporating a painting style that I loved with one of my favorite tools, the pencil. What happened next came more natural than anything before it, and from the first piece I drew, there was a magic about it. Using colored pencils, I draw no lines at all...only varied, unending, overlapped and intertwined circles. Building seemingly transparent layers, incorporating all color. As in pointillism, the distant viewer's eye fuses these into realistic shades of human flesh, hair and life.
