How Swift the Shift presents a luminous, densely worked surface in which Epstein's characteristic layering of acrylic on a custom resin and fiberglass panel creates a tactile, almost geological depth. The work rewards close inspection, as translucent veils of color accumulate and recede across the relief-like ground, producing a chromatic interplay that shifts with the viewer's position and the quality of ambient light. Measuring approximately 91 by 71 centimeters with a notable depth of over seven centimeters, the panel itself is an object of considered craft, handmade by the artist to function simultaneously as support and sculptural presence. Epstein's practice occupies a compelling space between painting and object-making, and this 2020 work exemplifies the formal tension that defines his output. The title gestures toward transformation and the subtle, sometimes disorienting speed with which perception can change, a theme enacted in the piece through the way color relationships appear to reorganize depending on viewing distance and light conditions. The thick, constructed panel lends the work a physicality rare in contemporary painting, resisting easy categorization and demanding engagement with the object on its own terms. For collectors, How Swift the Shift represents a significant example of Epstein's mature approach to the painted surface, combining meticulous material innovation with a genuine sensitivity to light and color. The work is signed and offered through Asya Geisberg Gallery, and its unframed presentation underscores Epstein's intent that the panel itself, with its precisely crafted edges and dimensional presence, constitute the complete and self-sufficient work.
