Pachamama’s is proud to host Jeff Weinberg’s first art show in decades. The show opens on Tuesday, May 11, with a reception at 6 p.m. Mr. Weinberg is a local Lawrence artist, and a KU administrator and teacher. His textural, phantasmagorical paintings draw inspiration from a love of art, literature, nature, travel, and the world — a passion which he aims to express in his work.
Though he has no formal training, Mr. Weinberg began painting in the 1970s. At that time, he sold some work at galleries in Kansas City... and then put his creative side on pause for the next 40 years. He began to paint anew in 2008.
To create his paintings, Mr. Weinberg begins by covering a canvas with unbleached muslin, sand, or marble paste for depth. He develops a design in the cloth itself before adding any color. A finished painting may have up to 15 or 20 layers of acrylic color; these pieces often take more than a month to dry.
The public is invited to meet Jeff Weinberg and view his latest work on display at Pachamama’s, Tuesday, May 11, at 6 p.m.
