Through her use of vibrant color and intuitive composition, Joanne Greenbaum’s work achieves balance through the unconventional layering of forms in a complex pictorial space. A desire for continual reinvention serves as the motivating force behind her distinctive and immediately recognizable paintings, works on paper and ceramics. Often using drawing as the springboard for her paintings, Greenbaum formulates a vital relationship between the two approaches which ultimately reflects her own unique vocabulary of line and volume. Her ceramic sculptures follow a similar path in clay- building structures which lead to surprising and highly inventive forms.
