ARTIST STATEMENT by Brandon Reintjes
I want to make paintings that take social patterns and the repetition of common place movements as the basis for abstraction. People create patterns of movement everyday through repeated activities — buying habits, a certain route to work, nervous twitches, the tucking hair behind an ear, signing a name or tying a shoelace. These small moments are the repositories of human energy and collectively act as the raw material for how humans organize on a larger level, indicating societal patterns like capitalism, nationality, personal identity or spirituality.
These paintings use concepts of mutability, continuity, iterability and multiples to contrast repetition with irregularity or instability. This sets up and equation that will affect the viewer on some level - emotive, intellectual or physical.
