Caleb Weintraub

We are pleased to present Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror in the Studio at Perry Lawson Fine Art. Weintraub’s work explores the tension between stability and disquiet, treating the domestic space as both a source of comfort and the tension that unsettles it. Within these layered environments, observation becomes both subject and object; watching and being watched coexist as inseparable conditions.

Blending figural and landscape sensibilities into imagined spaces, Weintraub situates his imagery between memory and myth. Each element in his heavily impastoed, textured paintings carries symbolic weight: birds suggest displacement, trees offer refuge, and fire embodies both warmth and danger, comfort and forewarning.

Based in Bloomington, Indiana, Weintraub holds an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and a BFA from Boston University. His work has been exhibited at Fredericks & Freiser (New York), Zolla/Lieberman Gallery (Chicago), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), the International Museum of Art and Science (McAllen, TX), the Chicago Cultural Center, and the Grunwald Gallery of Art (Bloomington, IN). He has been artist-in-residence at Redux Contemporary Art Center and the Santa Fe Art Institute and currently serves as Associate Professor, Area Head of Painting, and Director of the Eskenazi Technology and Innovation Lab at  Indiana University Bloomington.
