Gordon Winarick (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary American artist who specializes in painting, sculpture, and film making. Self-taught, his work brings classical painting techniques into contemporary art by using a combination of traditional and non-traditional materials. His focus on light, color, shape, texture, and scale creates emotionally charged and personal pieces that challenge the viewer to turn inward for meaning. He sees art as a “discussion with one’s self” and aims to create visual moments for meditation.
Winarick's artistic practice is based on storytelling through multiple mediums. He believes that each creative pursuit is of the same thread and benefits one another. His work in film, sculpture and painting all inform one another, creating a 360 degree view of the way he views the world.
In addition to his artistic practice, Winarick has a deep love for films and a great respect for the cinematic greats. He draws inspiration from classic films and the master filmmakers of the past, and incorporates the techniques and storytelling methods of these greats into his own work.After leaving traditional education, he studied acting at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, England. He has appeared in TV and film projects such as the David Weil created Hunters (Amazon Prime), The Goldfinch (Amazon Studios) and The Ultimate Playlist of Noise (Hulu). He currently resides in New York City, where he continues to develop his artistic practice and storytelling through multiple mediums, while paying homage to the films and filmmakers that have inspired him.
