Portals of Perception

Press Release

In an exuberant world of atmospheric color, Marina Reiter conjures intriguing biomorphic forms into existence. Often connected by intersecting lines and hashes, these creatures float in perpetual congress. Their smooth shapes give the impression of three-dimensional depth, heightened by the soft flatness of her shimmering pastel backgrounds. Careful balance of color and form ensures a harmony throughout the composition. For Reiter, the connections are important – this is the way that humans and emotions interact – as she says, “We enter this world to reach out and connect. We are not bound by space and time”. Her paintings are a celebration of everything that unties us and pulls us apart. Heavily influenced by the work of Wassily Kandinsky, her pieces channel the spirit of Surreal abstraction and Constructivism.  However, Reiter’s works are infinitely accessible, allowing her to affect her public directly through the work.

 

Marina Reiter works passionately and constantly strives for perfection in her work. Born in Moscow, Russia, she currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.


Artist Statement

My art is about the interconnectedness of things, our complex interactions and relationships, six degrees of separation, and celebration of everything that unites us and pulls us apart. The joyful colorful creatures that I paint are very much the “learning, playful souls” that Richard Bach wrote about. We enter this world to reach out and connect. We are not bound by space and time. We fly for the sake of flying; we live because we love life. We touch, we teach, and we learn from one another. Sometimes these connections are happy, sometimes quite odd, but that's what makes life colorful, joyful and beautiful.
