Rebekah Goldstein: Paintings and Sculpture is now on view at Rosenbaum Contemporary (150 Yamato Road) in Boca Raton, Fla. The exhibition opened on January 24th and will continue through April 22, 2023 and it spans her career to date.

The show, conceived as survey of the artist’s work, features her rectangular paintings, sculpture and the shaped canvases at the intersection of built environments and exploration of vibrant colours.

Goldstein’s work is reminiscent of Elizabeth Murray, Louise Nevelson and Frank Stella for her “abandonment of rectangular constraint.” Exploring colour, form and structure, as well as their relationship to the human body and the built environment, the artist said: “My paintings depict imagined structures and space. Several years ago, I began to wonder what the imagery in my paintings would look like if it was an object. The imagery in my paintings informed my sculptures, which looked like forms plucked out of my paintings. These sculptures in turn influence the imagery in my paintings. Making both painting and sculpture has given me a fuller appreciation of what each can do.”

“For me, the thrill of painting is its ability to create illusion,” she continued. “The imagery can defy gravity, bend perspectives, create its own laws of perspective. Yet sculpture offers me a concrete way to create form, view space and apply color.”
