Who she is or what she’s fighting for is unclear in young Munich-based artist Leonard Hurzlmeier’s ‘Rebellion,’ but it’s obvious that the subject is moving forward apace. Hurzlmeier’s bold paintings find fun in full-bodied female figures who engage the world head-on. (At Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through April 23rd).
New York painter Joanne Greenbaum takes mark making into three dimensions with ceramics that evoke natural forms and architecture in vibrant color at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side. (Through July 1st).
Titled ‘post-paintings,’ as if they’re pioneering a new art form after painting, Strauss Bourque-LaFrance’s wall sculptures are in fact made from 2 x 2” posts and cropped pictures from the New York Post newspaper. Colored like a quilt and featuring snippets of Post sports coverage, this piece evokes all-American pastimes. (At Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through May 16th).
