SEBASTIAN BLANCK: My Heart and Eye Agree

"All the works are of Blanck’s wife, the artist Isca Greenfield-Sanders, and though they capture her likeness, the primary aim of these paintings is to immerse viewers in a rhythmic, almost performative process of re-engagement with the subject. The constancy of her image—filtered through varying colorations, light conditions, and minute disruptions from the floppy straw hat, necklace, and sunglasses that she wears––becomes less about the subject’s fixed identity and more about the act of seeing."

"All can be seen in New Hat, where the dappled light peeking through the underside of the hat is rendered in quick, visible brushstrokes, while the shadow of the hat on Isca's shoulders is painted in bright pastel greens, blues, and pinks, elevating the representation into a realm of dynamic expression."

"Just as in Pink and Brown, the various shapes that make up the sun hat become just a sun hat and reveal Blanck’s seamless integration of abstraction and representation—a balancing act that transforms personal likeness into something both intimate and universal."
