Lot Essay

Joanne Greenbaum’s paintings are cacophonies of line and colour, suggesting a natural world caught in the circuits of the contemporary. In Untitled (Purple + Yellow) the grids of both the city and the technology that drives it frame and barely contain a whirling palimpsest that wants to expand outwards to the edges of the canvas.
