For its debut at its new Lower East
Side location, The Rachel Uffner Gallery is currently presenting an exhibition
of work by Joanne Greenbaum. For her first solo show in New York since 2009,
Greenbaum presents eight large paintings in her signature abstract style, using
different shapes and form to create expressive patterns. Her pieces are both
colorful and enigmatic as she alternates between thin, transparent layers and
thick, opaque textures within the foregrounds and backgrounds.
One of her images features an
intense cluster of hot pink squiggles in the background, with two mysterious
multi-colored creatures as the subjects. Another painting consists of a baby
blue background and illustrates a set of staircases with a cluster of red
geometric shapes that perhaps represent an animal or group of animals. There is
also a painting in the show that serves as a perfect example of stark contrast,
where the subject is also an unusual object or creature depicting with rather
bright blue and pink stripes shown against a black and navy blue background. Greenbaum lives and works in New
York City, and her work has been featured at numerous art shows, galleries, and
museums throughout the U.S. and Europe. At The Rachel Uffner Gallery, 170
Suffolk St., through Apr. 20th. The gallery is open Wed.—Sun. from 10 a.m.—6
p.m. or by appointment.
