Description of piece:
Richard Reiner began with a perfectly square canvas, measuring 30” in height x 30” width, to specially create this new work, titled New York City, in celebration of the city's timeless magic, dynamic energy— and resilience!
Vibrantly colored and dynamic, and replete with Reiner’s signature dimensionality and rich textural elements, Reiner created this energetic and celebratory abstract using brushes, cloths, palette knife and bristol board.
New York City is hand-signed by the artist, on the reverse. The artist will also sign the front of the work, if so wished by the winning bidder.
Additionally, Richard Reiner will personalize the artwork on the reverse, adding your favorite quote, line of poetry, song lyric, or other personal inscription directly on the structural wooden framing of the stretched, wrapped canvas.
The work is gallery-wrapped and comes ready for display.
Artist bio:
Richard Reiner's landscape and abstract paintings are equally masterful: visually moving and often tempestuous, his landscapes reflect his love of the outdoors and nature, and capture both the serenity and power of nature; his abstracts capture that essence, and are emotive of the same power of nature, utilizing color and pattern to express strong feeling and movement.
With Hollywood in his veins, it’s no surprise that Richard’s art has made it to the small screen, appearing on the last seven seasons of the hit CBS show The Mentalist, on the NBC show The Player, several seasons of Showtime's The Affair, and most recently on the last season of This is Us. He credits his family with his exposure to the arts from an early age. After studying and pursuing acting (inspired by his uncle, Carl Reiner), Richard Reiner followed a career as a Hollywood talent agent for 25 years. A dramatic artistic shift led him back to his first great artistic interest: fine art painting.
Studying at an impressive list of schools, Richard Reiner names as some of his influences John Singer Sargent, Richard Schmid, William Turner, Richard Diebenkorn, Edward Hopper, and the Bay Figurative Artists. With galleries in Hawaii and the Hamptons, his credits include 20 exhibitions since he began showing his work in 2008. Richard Reiner's work is held in significant corporate and private collections including those of Carl Reiner, Rob & Michele Reiner, Tim Allen, Jane Goodall, Dan Fogelman, and numerous other Hollywood personages.
