Stan Lindwasser is a painter whose studio is in Hoboken, NJ. He has been a prolific artist for over 35 years and has an extensive exhibit history. Lindwasser, a native of Brooklyn, is currently working with acrylic paint on canvas to invoke abstract images that are reminiscent of landscapes, weather, water, and other forces of nature. He states of this current work:
“I question the place and role of color: on lines, as lines, or replacing lines. The works I have been doing reflect my career long interest in the details of line and color, the creation of shapes and the placement of these on paper, or in space. These paintings reflect my thinking about direction and how changes in density of paint or use of water define and subtly change the composition. As the paint flows, it changes directions. Paint flow into lines of denser color. Areas formed are not defined by enclosed lines; rather they indicate new colors. The paintings may suggest by chance, landscapes, mountains, rocks and whatever the viewer sees.”
In the past, Lindwasser created a series of installations which used cord painted in acrylic and stretched on frames to form three dimensional grids. These pieces were constructed and shown at the Brooklyn Museumand the Brooklyn Public Library in Brooklyn,NY and the Bertha Urdang Gallery in New York City. At the Sarah Yorke Rentschler Gallery in New York City. and the Jersey CityMuseum, Lindwasser showed steel line sculpture. Lindwasser has received a New Jersey State Council for the Arts Sculpture Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Arts, Visual and Performing Arts Grant (through Battery Dance Company).
More recent work has appeared at the Sovereign Bank, HobokenNJ, the Watchung Art Center,Watchung NJ, the Eureka Market Gallery, Hoboken,NJ, and the 310 Hudson Street Gallery in Hoboken, NJ.
