Austyn Weiner's three part work "At First I Thought It Was The Altitude" employs a mixed media approach combining oil, oil stick, and crayon on paper to create a gestural, abstracted composition. The layering of these varied materials produces a richly textured surface that oscillates between figuration and abstraction, inviting viewers to engage with the suggestive forms and the physical evidence of the artist's hand. The deliberate combination of fluid and dry media creates dynamic visual tension that reflects contemporary approaches to painting and drawing as hybrid practices.
