Summer of Seneca
2021
Summer of Seneca places the viewer inside a charged atmospheric moment, Nehemiah Cisneros building an expansive field of color and form across a canvas that measures over nine feet wide. The 2021 acrylic work carries the restless, heat-soaked energy its title implies, blending gestural passages with more considered layering to produce a surface that rewards extended looking. Cisneros works within a tradition of large-scale expressive painting while maintaining a visual language that feels distinctly his own, rooted in the rhythms of contemporary Los Angeles life and landscape. At this scale, Summer of Seneca functions as an immersive object rather than simply a picture on a wall. The physical presence of the canvas, nearly five and a half feet tall and stretching well beyond arm's reach in width, demands architectural consideration from any prospective collector. The work is signed by the artist and offered unframed, allowing the collector flexibility in how it is installed and presented within a space. It ships from Los Angeles, with shipping costs the responsibility of the buyer, a detail worth factoring into acquisition planning for those outside the region. This piece is currently offered through the Venice Art Walk Benefit Auction, connecting its acquisition to a longstanding community tradition that has supported emerging and established artists for decades. For collectors seeking a substantial, emotionally resonant painting that carries both critical weight and visceral appeal, Summer of Seneca represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a signature-scale work from an artist whose practice continues to gain well-deserved attention.
