It came about simply because he had been playing with extended exposure shots, blacklit models, and other non-traditional styles of photography, this whole 'bohemian noir' feel is something that he has since fallen in love with.

Much of Miss Fink's work is derived from a combination of emotional intensity and self-denial with the anti-figurative aesthetic of the European abstract schools such as Futurism, the Bauhaus and Synthetic Cubism. Additionally, much of her work has an image of being rebellious, anarchic, highly idiosyncratic and slightly nihilistic. Her work can very easily be related to the Abstract Expressionist movement, which came to prevalence in post World War II America.

Simple, intimate expressions of nature embody the abstract beauty of the world that surround us. A new perspective is offered by unique angles, dramatic lines and high contracts unbalanced compositions. Giclee prints on metallic substrates provide a novel depth to images that illuminate with ambient light. Juxtaposed against imagery of weathered synthetic structures, the exhibition illustrates a story of beauty in opposition. Each print has a unique personality, prepared individually in multiple layers taking over 24 hours to produce.

An affinity for classical animation, low brow, ultra pop and street art as well as design conventions of the early 20th century couple with a penchant for the unsettling to keep him creatively motivated. As classically trained actor, his passion is the stories art can tell and the stories the viewer brings to the piece. When he is not irreverently claiming to be creating something of remote artistic merit, his favorite pastimes are cake, petting his bunny, giving names to the rats he sees in the subway and making sure that no one gets away with taking themselves too seriously.

“My paintings are inspired by the aesthetics of the Industrial Revolution, Victorian grandeur, the paintings by the great postwar abstract painters and by the desire to combine images and objects in unexpected ways. My technique relies heavily on the layering of various acrylic media, fabric and image. I am always looking for new ways to expand the dynamics of my paintings; whether that is achieved by layering, creating texture or manipulating images, I am focused on creating striking compositions which reflects a certain balance between a contemporary and vintage aesthetic.”
