| LYNNE GOLOB GELFMAN |
Miami-based artist Lynne Golob Gelfman earned a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College in 1966 and an M.F.A. from Columbia University in 1968. Her work has been exhibited at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Miami Art Museum. Her paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., and the Miami Art Museum, among others.
Inspired by the work of Agnes Martin, early de Kooning and Colombian basketry, Gelfman’s densely layered, patterned paintings engage the eye with their shimmering, subtly modulated color. Gelfman typically uses unconventional tools, such as combs, trowels, cans of spray paint and mechanical sanders, to create cross hatched, cloud-like, and abraded passages of paint.
These eight circular process pieces are actually sanding discs which were used by the artist to remove paint from from her canvasses with a mechanical sanding machine. Created by chance, the discs’ uneven textures and swirling patterns of color are evocative, mirror-like versions of Gelfman’s larger works.
