"Robert Reitzfeld: New Paintings" at Front Art Space

FRONT art space is presenting "Robert Reitzfeld: New Paintings" from Sept. 1 to 17.

“Comics were my art history in my formative years” Reitzfeld says in his artist statement. His work alwayscontinues to use elements from comics: tidbits co-opted, re-arranged or juxtaposed create colorful, complicated and often disorienting abstract passages. “While being abstract, the work contains enough familiarity that viewers tend to develop and build their own stories, in fact write their own personal comic book.”

In addition to exhibiting Reitzfeld's new paintings, FRONT is launching his book “Robert Reitzfeld Paintings” with an essay by David Ebony.

Where: FRONT art space, 118 Chambers St., frontartspace.com

Exhibition Dates: September 1–17

Opening: Thursday, September 1, 5-8 pm
