Isca Greenfield-Sanders' 'Pinelawn Pools' at Goff & Rosenthal showcases mixed-media paintings from altered 1960s photos.

Isca Greenfield-Sanders showcased her 'Pinelawn Pools' series at Goff & Rosenthal in New York City from September 7 to October 14, 2006. This exhibition featured mixed-media pieces inspired by found photographs from the 1960s, which she digitally altered and enhanced with oil paint. Her distinctive technique involved scanning vintage slides, printing them on rice paper, applying watercolor, and then re-scanning to create larger tiles for canvas assembly. This approach aimed to minimize sentimentality while keeping the grid lines visible. Works such as 'Swimming Pool with Ball' (2006) and 'Red Suit Diver' (2006) presented lively suburban pool scenes reminiscent of Georges Seurat's 'Bathers at Asnières'. However, the grid sometimes disrupted cohesion, as in 'Orange Suit Bather' (2006). 'Brighton Beach' (2006) introduced a vibrant contrast with its warm and cool tones beneath a beach umbrella, emphasizing her ties to the original photographs and resulting in pieces that appeared as painted photographs rather than conventional paintings.
