Joanne Greenbaum at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Joanne Greenbaum’s paintings do what words can’t, conveying relationships that don’t translate easily into verbal language.  Watching the artist find a balance between lines and shapes, of color spread across the canvas, and of lighter vs bolder marks is the attraction in paintings that pleasurably upend expectations.  (On view at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through Jan 12th).
