Susan Rothenberg: Hope and discontent
Contributed by Sharon Butler / Susan Rothenberg’s invariably forceful and confident paintings have a beguiling twitchiness, created out of layers of agitated brushwork from a restless hand. In her latest solo at Sperone Westwater, she continues to embrace a non-serial approach, presenting paintings and drawings of various objects and animals she encounters in everyday life. Two of the paintings, Stone Angel and Buddha Monk, appear to be images of inanimate objects, although painted quite differently from each other.

Don’t miss Richard Tuttle at Pace, Eric Brown at Theodore:Art (opens on Friday the 13th!), Joanne Greenbaum at Rachel Uffner, and Sonya Kelliher-Combs at Minus Space. Also on the 13th in Bushwick, in a two-person show with Kate Teale, Larry Greenberg steps out from behind the desk at Studio 10 to present his own work — a beautiful new series of blue abstractions that I saw when I visited his studio last month.
