DFN Gallery is pleased to present New Drawings by Susan Grossman, featuring both small
and large-scale charcoal and pastel images of New York City street scenes, Central Park landscapes, and East-End Long Island roads.
In the essay in the catalogue, Susan Grossman: New Drawings 2007-2009, which accompanies this exhibition, art critic and curator Dominique Nahas describes Grossman’s exceptional skill and unique style:
There is a cinematic quality that exudes through the artist’s mastery of tenebrism
and high contrast outlining using a palette of grays, blacks, blues, whites, and
controlled flashes of color that Grossman couples with her strong compositional
and perspectival effects. The results are striking artworks that depict commonplace
scenes in uncommon ways.
Susan Grossman graduated from Bennington College in 1981 and received her MFA from Brooklyn College. Ms. Grossman has taught at City College of New York and is currently teaching drawing at the National Academy School of Fine Arts. Grossman’s drawings have been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. Her work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections, including The New-York Historical Society. This will be Ms. Grossman’s eighth one-person exhibition at DFN Gallery, where she has been represented since 1997.
