About the Item
Our shaped canvas which also is a sculptural form in essence for a wall, is a geometric and forward play of optical illusion. Hinman is an important pioneer of exploration in the contemporary world, away from the idea of the “square” and flat canvas. He is linked to such artists as Robert Indiana, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselman and he pre-dated Frank Stella’s exploration of canvas as wall relief structures. Hinman’s shaped canvases parallels the experimentation of Hard-Edge painting. He is represented in many major museums throughout the United States. These canvases are future forward alternatives in interiors to flat canvas and are a rising market for collectors. Sure to change an interior into something very fresh and new and with one of the great pioneers in this realm.

It's very active, with a woman wearing a colorful cap with feather, her tresses falling down behind/beside her, portrayed with cubist abandon as the artist folds in Picasso with Philip Guston...

- "Strengths and Weaknesses", acrylic, charcoal, art history, abstract, portraitLocated in Toronto, Ontario"Strengths and Weaknesses" is a portrait exploring several elements and strategies that fascinate the artist – notably the performance anxiety induced by simply being an artist, staring down the freight train of art history as it hurtles toward you every time you pick up a brush. Luck? Talent? Maybe. There are signposts and guides in this painting, of course (Cubism! Surrealism! Brancusi! Guston!), but they can clobber you too if you're not careful. Even the phrase "strengths and weaknesses" smacks of compromises and rationalization – deadly to an artist looking to construct their own integral world. "Strengths and Weaknesses" is an acrylic and charcoal on canvas measuring 54" tall by 54" wide. It was included in the artist's solo show "Comedy Cellar" at Freight + Volume Gallery, New York City in July 2018. (See last photograph for an installation view.) From Daniel Gerwin – "Schenck’s color is vibrant, wild, saturated to the point of overheating, and altogether brilliant in the balancing of hues, temperatures, shapes, and color quantities. The paintings have a remarkable coherence for their dizzying juxtaposition of so many small chromatic passages." (Essay: The Anxiety and the Ecstasy) Peter Schenck...Category
