The Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Gallery in Soho is currently featuring a collection of 21 new paintings by Edwin Schlossberg that combine stenciled text and abstract images on aluminum panels in the show Beneath Suddenly.
In his twelfth show at the gallery, Schlossberg’s latest paintings are a funky combination of shapes, patterns, and color scattered throughout each piece along with lines and converging paths laid out on a monochromatic space on the panels.
Schlossberg uses these unique designs to convey the intersection of forces found in nature, such as the need to describe, conceptualize, and communicate the intricacies of all the astonishing phenomena—beneath the surface.
Schlossberg, who has been represented by the Ronald Feldman Gallery since 1978, is also the founder of ESI Design, a company that takes an interactive and technological approach to creating various large-scale projects. He is married to Caroline Kennedy.
About the artist and his style, author and art critic Jonathan Goodman has said,“Schlossberg is clearly interested in the relationship between art and language in his insistence on the visuality of the object mediating the meaning of the words.”
At The Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Gallery (31 Mercer St.) through Feb. 11. The gallery is open from Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Monday by appointment. There will be an opening reception Saturday January 7 from 6-8 p.m.
