Susan Rothenberg
Susan Rothenberg explores the relationship between subject matter and the painted ground of the canvas. Recreating the life around her, Rothenberg’s oil paintings depict figures, animals, and landscapes in layers of thickly applied pigment. In Dominoes-Hot, Rothenberg depicts abstracted and disembodied figures playing a game of dominoes. Her images, suffused with feeling, float freely on energetically painted surfaces.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
