Joanne Grüne-Yanoff
Lemmons Contemporary
210 11th AveLemmons Contemporary is pleased to present Traces, an exhibition of new paintings by Joanne Grüne-Yanoff.
Joanne Grüne-Yanoff's photo-based images and sculpture reference language and communication, the human body and memory. Grüne-Yanoff's new work trades on the body's physicality, limiting it with bonds and ties, and asserting the body's ability to transcend confinement. In this series, Grüne-Yanoff suggests traces of a ghostly language that heighten the feeling of transience and impermanence. Photographs are transferred to paper, acetate or vellum and then layered, painted, scraped, cut, salted and burned--- the resulting images suggest the stripping away of physical constraints to reveal the inner essence.
Her recent works are inspired by a visit to a bridge on the island of Djurgarden, Sweden. Speaking of the work, she writes: "Watching rain fall on the water below… I traced inside myself the ripples they made through time; through other places and moments I had stood and silently watched such echoes. The canvases, then, each contain a reflection of a recollection. They hold traces of a touch, an emotion, a hope, an evening, a gathering, a wall, the quiet of a bridge - of the rain, through the years, as it falls on water."
Joanne Grüne-Yanoff was born in Philadelphia in 1966. She received her B.F.A. from Washington University in St. Louis in 1988. She has exhibited in several one-person and group exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, Santa Fe, Zurich and Shanghai.
