Brian Fee blogs about the exhibition Joanne Greenbaum: 1612 at D'Amelio Terras, on view through November 12, 2011.

Fee writes that "While she joins Thomas Nozkowski and Tomma Abts, at least on an elementary level, in terms of small-scale abstraction, Greenbaum's compositions explode beyond the former artists' more formal architectures. That’s not to say her paintings lack intelligibility: even a painting's enlarged color-stain, encroaching in on diagonal green lushness and textural violet gestures, feels deliberate and graceful."
