The Rumble of Panic Underlying Everything

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Mark Greenwold: The Rumble of Panic Underlying Everything, an exhibition of paintings and drawings at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, February 18, 2016, the exhibition is the first presentation of Greenwold’s work since 2013. Four of the artist’s meticulously detailed, psychologically complex paintings will be on view, as well as a selection of preparatory drawings. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with an essay by Wayne Koestenbaum.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication focus on the artist’s four most recent paintings—all created between 2013 and 2016. Like all of Greenwold’s works, they are multifaceted explorations of the issues and complexities of life: grown-up lives, grown-up bodies, grown-up feelings about love and loss. A self-proclaimed “emotional cubist,” the artist revels in the blurred and fragmented narratives that his paintings create. Works in the exhibition such as A Matter of Life and Death (for Selma) (2015), in which the artist appears “hung” above his 98-year-old, partially-blind mother, simply defy any literal interpretation.
