Artist Talk: SARAH STEINBERG

Artist Talk: SARAH STEINBERG 

Add this special artist talk with Sarah Steinberg to your Frieze Weekend event list. Join us at Lois Lambert Gallery on Saturday February 22nd at 12 PM. 

Steinberg paints to preserve the memories of her past reflecting love and longing for the landscape of her childhood in Canada. She begins by making complicated marks across the canvas with oil paint. From this mass of shapes more specific images begin to emerge that guide Steinberg toward an overall composition. Certain shapes are left abstracted while others are transformed into recognizable figures: the outline of a house or the dense treeline of a snowy forest. Steinberg captures the likeness of her home in Ontario while still allowing the image to be transformed by her imagination. This process lends an expressive quality to Steinberg’s work allowing the viewer to glimpse the layering of emotion and memory in each scene.
