Barbara
Grossman's paintings and oil stick drawings depict the interplay of
women in interiors.
They are characterized by intense color, multiple patterns, and dynamic spaces that are simultaneously deep and shallow.
She is deeply involved in the tension between the dynamics of the luminosity of color and the folding and torque of space that observation and experience reveals.
Each configuration is a renewed exploration of the visual language. If there is a narrative, the viewers are at liberty to determine that for themselves.
