Devorah Greenspan 's Artwork



Artist Statement
New York artist Devorah Greenspan earned a B.A. degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where she majored in history. She also participated in an Academic Year Abroad program in Bonn, Germany, where she studied at the Rheinische Fredrich-Wilhelms Universitat. A few years ago, she enrolled in a drawing class. Prior to that she considered creating visual artwork, aside from doodling, "off limits," due to her vision. "I visually test around the administrative line for 'legally blind,'" Devorah explains.
She enjoys drawing and painting, as well as writing and digital photography She painted in a collaborative performance event with European artist Ahmet Ögut titled “The Pigeon-like Unease of my Inner Spirit” as part of Performa ‘09” in New York,  Her artworks have been featured at New York City’s Viridian Gallery, Object Image Gallery, the Bay Ridge Art Fair, and the Educational Alliance.

In Her Own Words:
Whereas writing builds an image in the readers’ mind, visual art sets the information before the eye, hopefully in multiple layers of meaning. A still life work can be representative of an object. It can also explore tonality, light and depth. My still life work is Disegno. I don’t use rulers for drawing edges. I intellectually experiment with reaching beyond the limits of my physical vision. Other works take recognizable shapes, adding elements of abstraction and elements of the Colore philosophy. I draw and paint with the recognition of form, yet details can be omitted if I don’t have a visual concept of them. Life experiences, culture and basic technology are expressed in these works.
