#KönigFairs: Following the success of her solo exhibition at KÖNIG SEOUL earlier this year, Austyn Weiner’s TRAUMA BOND, 2022, hangs in our booth at Frieze Seoul (@friezeofficial). The work is exemplary for Weiner’s painting, charged with curved forms outlined and interrupted with oil stick and crayon over and between her oil paint. The overall effect is that of a maelstrom of activity, a self-generating force, enveloping every gesture and material trace in its path. 📅 3 SEPTEMBER - 5 SEPTEMBER 📍 FRIEZE SEOUL BOOTH A9 Austyn (born 1989 in Miami) lives and works in Miami, Florida, USA. For Austyn Weiner, the act of painting twists beyond process and into practice. Beyond moving material around a canvas to achieve an agreeable composition, Weiner’s approach is a regimented, introspective, and sacred practice that builds upon itself day by day. When she steps into the studio, Weiner temporarily leaves the earthly plane, seeing beyond the given reality to carry the currents of the whole from subconscious into reality. It is as if her future self is guiding the action, moving the pieces, and thrumming the rhythm of her painting with equal parts self-assurance and restraint. There is a knowledge in the work. © Portrait Ira Chernova #königgalerie #austynweiner #friezeseoul
