Sarah Brenneman
Jeff Bailey Gallery
511 W 25th St Sarah Brenneman Delta Crush (2005) |  Sarah Brenneman Piled Porkpies (2006) |
In Sarah Brenneman’s paintings on panel, vibrant patterns float, stretch and morph into fantasy structures. Shapes suggesting gems, skyscraper facades, pulsating lights and mazes mix with those found in nature: trees, water, rocks and clouds. In each painting, a synergistic patterning results.
Brenneman begins by sketching things she has seen: rocks along the New England coast, new buildings going up in Brooklyn or a city grid seen through the window of a plane.
Her inventive combinations of color and space, both shallow and deep, give way to a type of painted architecture, infused with light and held in suspension.
This is Brenneman’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. She received a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. She attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and was an artist in residence at The Millay Colony for the Arts and Chashama. She lives and works in New York City.
Additional works may be seen in the group exhibition Transparent Opaque, Paintings on Paper, at the Bertha and Karl Leubsdorf Art Gallery at Hunter College, through March 4.
