Jonathan Weiner (VINER) was born in 1976, in the suburbs of New York City. He and his identical twin brother were raised up and down the east coast of the United States. After graduating RISD in 1998, Viner moved to Brooklyn, NY and broke into the illustration world with several freelance gigs for the Village Voice. Before long his client list grew to include Rolling Stone, Playboy, Business Week, Simon & Schuster, Elektra Records, and Converse.
In 2002, Viner began showing his work in galleries. Demand for his work has been growing exponentially ever since. Jonathan is currently devoting himself to painting for gallery shows full time. He is working on a body of work to be shown in a major solo exhibition which opens in January of 2008 at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City's Chelsea gallery district.
In 2006, Renaissance man/designer/publisher Mark Murphy designed Viner's first book of paintings, "Tranquil Aftermath", which was published in conjunction with Jonathan LeVine Gallery. It's a superbly crafted 72 page collection with over 90 images and three essays.
