Isca Greenfield-Sanders Figurative Paintings
American, b. 1978
Artist Isca Greenfield-Sanders is best known for her compelling watercolors and oil paintings that are based on found photographs she has collected from family estates over the years. Greenfield-Sanders works with digital media and oils to create paintings and prints that explore American suburban life or families at leisure by way of nostalgia's hazy and often unreliable lens.
Born in New York City, Greenfield-Sanders's upbringing primed her for being an artist. Her mother was a lawyer and her father is Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, a prominent New York City photographer — and her grandparents were all musicians or visual artists. Growing up in the East Village, Greenfield-Sanders experienced a life immersed in the creative culture of the area.
In 2000, Greenfield-Sanders graduated from Brown University. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in both visual art and mathematics. In that same year, she had her inaugural solo exhibition at the Memories Galleria in Turin, Italy. Greenfield-Sanders has since shown her work in countless group and solo exhibits around the world — including Stockholm, New York City, London, Munich and San Francisco, to name a few. In 2003, she married artist Sebastian Blanck, and iconic American musician Lou Reed officiated the wedding.
Greenfield-Sanders has made a prominent name for herself over her career. Her work is held in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, among many others. Greenfield-Sanders continues to create imaginative and contemplative pieces in her studio in New York City.

Greenfield-Sanders’ landscape paintings invite the viewer into nostalgia, to forge a connection to their own experience. Using found vintage photography as a starting point, she creates several iterations of each image, which she alters with pencil and watercolor, and finally paints over with oil. They emerge simultaneously familiar yet enigmatic. She elaborates, stating, “All of my paintings are based on amateur slides from seventy years ago. I am interested in the ‘comfortably familiar’ nature of the images and how the elapsed time allows them to ‘prickle with new meaning’ to connect that which was worth capturing with that which is worth painting, at present.” The paintings require a great deal of forethought and groundwork, but still appear unlabored and fresh. Her style of painting, which prizes color, representation and evocation, is activated by both individual experience and collective memory.
Isca Greenfield-Sanders (b. in 1978 in New York City) received her dual BFA and BA degree from Brown University. The artist lives and works in New York, NY.
Recent solo exhibitions include “The Things I Can’t Forget,” Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY; “Ocean Eyes of Blue,” Michael Reid...
