Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to present our first solo exhibition with New York-based artist Joanne Greenbaum, Scaffold, on view from April 25 to May 24, 2024. The show will feature 8 new paintings including one of her largest works to date. 

Joanne Greenbaum’s paintings consistently feature the layering of forms, both painting and drawing, in a pictorial space, thus creating uniquely intuitive compositions distinctly her own.  

As the artist recently stated: 

My work always has an underlying structure, and the paintings in particular consist of a scaffold system. I’ve long been attracted to a fictional structure – one that doesn’t necessarily correspond with architecture. It’s a way to “hang” a painting onto something. But in addition to the scaffolding, there is also an idea that is more metaphysical and emotional. I think in this body of work I am relying less on pictorial devices and more on energy and movement. The scaffold is a kind of place to put all these ideas together in a way that allows me to indulge my love of form and color together with a physical presence.
