Regina Granne's 1970-1995 drawings exhibition at A.I.R. Gallery explores perception through graphic works

A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn hosted "Increments: Drawings, 1970-1995," a mini-retrospective of Regina Granne's graphic art from April 29 to May 24, 2009. This exhibition featured twenty-five drawings created with graphite or pastel pencil, showcasing her distinctive linear depictions of nudes, still lifes, and interiors, characterized by dramatic foreshortening and scalar contrasts. Among the highlighted pieces were Large Still Life with Pears (1976) and later works such as Marika and Jacopo (1993). Granne's emphasis on contour and structure generates intensity through the use of negative space. Additionally, a hand-bound catalogue produced by The Crumpled Press included an interview that explored her work's familiar yet surprising imagery. Her background in abstract art has honed her ability to recognize formal patterns and interpret visual data.
