Joanne Greenbaum

When i arrived here i thought Paint was Paint, Printmaking was Printmaking and in general, each method was just that, but after a few months i´ve become a lot more open minded, and that´s brilliant because now i can make conextions and see how each method can incorporate things to the others.

With that been said, i have to say that discovering Joanne´s Greenbaum work has inspired me in my work; she is a New York artist that lives and works in New York, she makes sculptures but what have inspired me the most are her paintings.

The way she approaches painting kind of reminds me of printmaking, and also of drawing, which is clearly visible in all of her work.

The way she plays with colors, the abstract vision of painting as a way of liberation, she doesn´t follow formulas of conventional painting she´s rather expanding the possibilities of the technique.

I see her paintings as a beautiful process, where you can see how the work has evolve, she´s working with layers and it works quite well to my mind, her work show me the pass of time.
