Caleb Weintraub

We are pleased to present Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror in the Studio in the at Perry Lawson Fine Art. Weintraub’s work explores the tension between stability and disquiet, between the domestic space as a source of stability 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 imaginative spaces, Weintraub situates his practice between memory and myth. Each element in his paintings functions as a symbolic marker—flames as signals of transformation and attentiveness, birds as emblems of displacement, and trees as sanctuaries offering both protection and passage. Fire, recurring throughout the series, merges hearth and harbinger, suggesting both 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 and Director of Graduate Studies in Painting at Indiana University Bloomington.
