Description

At once ethereal and graphic, joyful and wistful, Glen Goldberg’s paintings are akin to dreams, providing an aperture for the viewer to discover, meander and absorb. Goldberg creates lambent works built in layers with delicate brushstrokes and flecks of color. Goldberg's artworks consistently feature intricately stippled surfaces layered over gentle washes, adding depth and complexity to each composition. Goldberg’s mark making not only structures the space, but also acts as a record of the artist’s concentrated attention, time, and devotion. “The dots afford me a way to measure: to show what was put into the paintings physically. It is fulfilling for me… More importantly, you can see every touch. The dots also give an electricity, an energy; I can use them to create explosions, or create light.”
