Pensato’s resurrection of this iconic image sixteen years later marks an additional shift in her practice as it will be the first time that she has added various colors to what until now has been a strictly black, white and silver painting palette.
“Batman” is a motif that first appeared in Pensato’s drawings as early as the mid-1970’s and has been used by the artist only periodically since, the last Batman painting, as singular work, having been executed in 1996. For this exhibition, Joyce Pensato uses Batman as the predominant subject and inspiration for her paintings. The book commemorates the 32 years that the artist worked in her Olive Street studio in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, before re-locating to a new space in the spring of 2011. Wool, will be available on the occasion of the exhibition. An illustrated catalogue, published by 38th Street Publishers with an accompanying essay by Ira G. Friedrich Petzel Gallery is pleased to announce “Batman Returns,” the third exhibition of new work by the New York-based artist Joyce Pensato.
