Greenbaum and You are artists, educators, curators and a longtime couple. Their independent studio practices have developed in tandem, informed by joint curatorial projects, informal studio visits and the shared experience of a life in art. Each artist has a materially driven, experimental studio practice that celebrates everyday places, objects and materials.
Greenbaum and You also share a fascination with abstract forms that emerge through unconventional processes. Greenbaum merges photography, painting, and sculpture in low-relief wall works that read like urban archaeology—fragments of city life preserved and reimagined. Working with colorful polymer clay, You creates playful non-objective forms as dimensional elements in her paintings and free floating sculptures that she recombines in site specific arrangements. For this exhibit, she layers her forms within canvas panels. The canvas is both a support and sculptural element woven among the clay forms.
