Shadows in Cádiz

Come see Susan Greenstein’s show “In Light of Everything” at 440 Gallery.

Exhibit from September 4 - October 5, 2025

Greenstein finds herself captivated by how light shapes the way we see: it defines form, sets mood, and determines what is visible or hidden. Just as compelling are the shadows it leaves behind: shifting, collapsing, and reconfiguring the familiar into the unexpected. Light and shadow are the protagonists. Sharp lines may define a shadow, while a cast light may have a soft, caressing edge. Spaces within the painting become abstract, flattening into what is light and what is not. In each painting, Greenstein captures, as a camera might, a specific moment – light and shadow telling ephemeral time.
