Two longtime artists realign themselves
with their artistic roots

Robert Bienstock and Kate Henderson: May 25- June 25, 2023

Reception: Saturday June 10th, 2:30 - 5:30 with artists talk at 3:30

Robert Bienstock’s abstract art focuses on space-filling linear patterns and their intersections.  Bienstock observes that such patterns abound in the world around us and reside within our memories and thoughts.  His work aims to trigger resonances with the viewer’s lived experiences. 

Realignment features Bienstock's linework on rectangular wood panels.  Inspired in part by Chinese and Japanese landscape paintings, these elongated pieces guide the viewer’s eye through diverse terrains united by common modes of expression.  They elaborate elements of Bienstock early pen-and-ink work, realigning his core artistic vocabulary with his more recent techniques and materials.

Robert Bienstock is Connecticut based artist and member of the Kehler Liddell Gallery in Westville, New Haven, CT. He has shown his art at the River Street Gallery in Fair Haven CT; the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition in Red Hook Brooklyn; Catalyst Gallery in Beacon NY; City Lights Gallery in Bridgeport CT; New Haven’s City Wide Open Studios; and various coffee shops, offices and hotels in Connecticut.

Utilizing both gestural and contour line techniques, Kate Henderson interprets components of the natural world and creates an imaginary realm of passages. “The process of creating work for Realignment has been truly transformative. What began as a studio exercise in drawing more from life this year, a departure from my usual nature-based abstractions has suddenly brought me full circle back into a style and thinking about abstract forms that started in college. There is a complexity and purity about it I am enjoying.”
