Oracle of DelphiPenny Kronengold: Museum Translations - New Paintings and Drawings
April 1st 2007 00:18
The First Street Gallery announces an exhibition of new work by Penny Kronengold which will open on Tuesday, March 27 and continue through Saturday, April 21. In this exhibition Kronengold returns to the figure of the horse. Her interest was renewed after coming upon the glass-encased horses and figures of the Hindu Gate, and unusual installation of 17th- and 19th- century Indian sculptures in the Museum of Natural History. The Central Park carousel and the armored horses in the Metropolitan Museum struck a similar chord. Many months of drawing proceeded the paintings.
Writings in The New York Sun and artcritical.com, David Cohen has noted that Kronengold's 'formal concerns amount to an almost alchemical duality of solid and transparent, mass, and fluidity. She draws extensively from lifeÖthen improvises with abandon at the easel. The result is an animated dialogue, at times, actually, a collision of intense drawing and ecstatic color.'
