Jay Shinn is
an artists working and living in both Texas and New York. Along with the other artists I have recently
spotlighted, Shinn contributed to the “Silent Transmissions” exhibit that hung
at the Cole Art Center in Nacogdoches Texas from Jan 28th – Mar 31st
of 2012. The works included by Shinn
were 3 dimensional installations that were composed of stainless steel
sculpture, painted shadows, and the variable actual shadows that were a
function of lighting and daylight. The resulting
work is a form of tromp l’oeil that forces the viewer to really closely
consider what he/she is seeing. The
painted shadows were so convincing that I viewed several of Shinn’s pieces
before I recognized the visual trickery of Shinn’s technique. To see more of Shinn’s hard-edged geometric
art visit his website at http://www.jayshinn.com/
