Susan Grossman: Urban Stories
Susan Grossman, GLEAMING 2019
Susan Grossman has built a strong reputation for rendering urban scenes of New York City primarily in black and white and shades of gray. Colored pastel is typically used minimally or to enhance her glimmering cityscapes, but plays a much larger role in many of these new works. Suddenly viewers are warmed by sherbet sunset hues or drawn to Technicolor taxicabs and umbrellas. These flashes of color, which the artist couples with strong compositional and perspectival effects, make the work glow with a cinematic quality. This is the artist's 5th solo exhibition with the gallery.
Grossman earned a BA from Bennington College in 1981 and a MFA from Brooklyn College in 1988. She has taught at City College of New York, the National Academy School of Fine Arts and Wesleyan University.
