About The Work
From her early days as a painter and active member of the 60s and 70s New York art scene, Susan Rothenberg has worked mainly with muted colors, black, and white. The artist paints or etches on flat, almost minimalist grounds, using the gestural expression of movement and recognizable figures and objects simultaneously as representations of specific people, events, or types of movement as forms through which to explore underlying emotional autobiography. In her own words, her paintings and etchings attempt to “catch a moment, the moment to exemplify an emotion,” showing things not “the way they are” but “exactly the way [they] can’t be.”
