About the Item

Isca Greenfield-Sanders Woman on the Rocks I, 2016 Mixed media oil on canvas 35 x 35 inches 88.9 x 88.9 cm Signed, titled and dated (verso) -- 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 Gallery, Sydney, Australia; “Let’s Be Still,” Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, CA; “If I Could Go Back,” Baldwin Gallery, Aspen, CO; “You’re My Favorite Thing by Far,” Wetterling Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden; “Today and Everyday,” Galerie Klüser, Munich, Germany; “Inherited Landscape,” Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, CA, among others. Recent group exhibitions include “Unnatural Nature: Post-Pop Landscapes,” Acquavella Galleries, New York, NY; “COMPETERE: An Exhibition of Artist Couples,” Bo Bartlett Center, Columbus, GA; “Landscape & Memory,” Pamela Salisbury Gallery, Hudson, NY; “Deep Blue” (curated by Katherine Bradford), Hall Art Foundation, Reading, VT; “Water Marks: Images of Water in the Collection,” McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX, among others.
