Wally Workman Gallery: Diana Greenberg
Here's a virtual exhibition tour (with an artist talk), featuring the newest show at WWG. "Initially inspired by figures or structures within nature," says artist Greenberg," I am interested in the process by which the figure or other composition disappears through layers and is replaced by abstraction and color. My grid series reference a specific time and place, often a distillation of landscapes. By working with an attention to negative space, layered drawing, and a variety of medium I hope to evoke an overall sense of calm."Through May 31. Free.
