It would be easy to mistake Margie Neuhaus’ drawings for observations by a mid-20th century engineer, documenting their impressions from an ancient CRT oscilloscope. These drawings and works on paper, invoking sound waves or radio signals, are flourishes on  broken grids for an analog notebook. Neuhaus' works celebrate the finesse of pencil work with graphite and paper. Animated and expressive, her deft handling of repetitive mark making, shading, and shaping forms results in a melodic melange of delicate, meditative and formidable images. The similarity to sound waves is appropriate as the title of the exhibition, Segue, implies a musical direction, a smooth bridging between one movement to another as each work draws from her own language, uniquely telling its own story by her hand. As the ever-creeping growth of Artificial Intelligence gains further momentum and dominance in this culture, these delicate and intuitive pictures provide credible evidence of the need for the human touch in art making.

Neuhaus is a Brooklyn based artist and holds a BFA in Drawing from Carnegie Mellon (1985) and an MFA in Sculpture from Bard College (1993).

This is her first exhibition with the gallery.
