Often depicting trees in atmospheric settings, Lucas Reiner’s paintings and prints drift between representational work and more abstract, symbolic images. It’s an ambiguity that emerges both from his traditional printmaking methods and also the artist’s ongoing dialogue with religious art of the past and an obsessive search for a new visual language that might translate it into the present. The artist will discuss Stations, a series based on the ancient Catholic prayer practice known as the Stations of the Cross, as well as other works.
