Ronnie Landfield's Abstract Paintings Featured in First Show with Findlay Galleries

Veteran abstract painter Ronnie Landfield presents his first exhibition with Findlay Galleries, showcasing work that maintains both large scale and vibrant color despite career challenges. The septuagenarian artist's practice combines landscape suggestions with optical purity through bold color fields and precise bars. Landfield's career faced significant setbacks including Hurricane Sandy's destruction of much of his life's work and the subsequent loss of his New York studio to gentrification. The exhibition includes works like 'The Light of the Day' from 2012, an acrylic on canvas measuring 44 by 91 inches. Located at 724 Fifth Avenue's 8th floor between 56th and 57th streets, the show continues through May 31. Landfield's approach to Color Field painting incorporates terrain elements while maintaining painterly rigor. The artist demonstrates a dualistic method that balances sensual visual appeal with formalist concerns. David Cohen authored the review of this exhibition for artcritical.
