RJ Messineo’s The Gleaners presents dynamic paintings built through an evolving process of adding, removing, and rearranging plywood panels on canvas. Using magnets to shift these elements, Messineo creates layered compositions where textures, colors, and impressions interact unpredictably. Works like History Painting 2025 and Earth Blue 2025 highlight this improvisational method, emphasizing transformation and open-ended resolution. Change itself becomes the foundation of their practice.
