From HARLAN & WEAVER - http://www.harlanandweaver.com/: Siena creates prints in which hand-rendered procedural abstractions, methodically executed, cover a wide range of modalities and produce multiple visual and psychological effects. Siena's work stimulates both the eye and the brain. As Roberta Smith wrote in an early review of his paintings: "Mr. Siena is unusually adept at translating the mental into the visual. His paintings think as good as they look." The jewel-like surfaces of his paintings become equally compelling when transformed into the medium of intaglio printmaking. Tactile, compressed and intricate, the work is above all emphatically physical, as seen in the raised surface of the etched line, and the attentive use of color. Siena's recent solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles have been greeted with great critical acclaim. He was included in the highly regarded Greater New York show, 2000, at PS1-MoMA in Long Island City, Queens. A ten-year survey of his work, originating at The San Francisco Art Institute, traveled to The University of Akron, in Ohio in 2003. He has also been included in important thematic exhibitions at the University Art Museum in Long Beach, California (By Hand: Pattern, Precision and Repetition in Contemporary Drawing, curated by Mary-Kay Lombino) and Kent State University (Accumulations, curated by Martin Ball), both 2001; and the University Galleries at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois (Post-Hypnotic, with a catalogue by Barry Blinderman and Tom Moody), in 1999; as well as at the Weatherspoon Art Gallery in Greensboro, N.C.. In 2000, he received an award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters Invitational Exhibition. In 2004, he was selected for the Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Siena's works are in many public institutions and collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In 1999 he was a recipient of the prestigious Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Competition Award.
