About the Gallery
Jane Lombard Gallery has a rich 25-year history. Seeking to promote emerging and mid-career artists across disciplines, the gallery maintains an established reputation for bringing to the forefront artists working within a global perspective relevant to the social and political climate of today.
Founded in 1995 in Soho as Lombard Freid Projects, the gallery later moved to Chelsea, first to 26th Street, then to 19th Street in 2010, reemerging as Jane Lombard Gallery in 2015. The gallery is now located at 58 White Street in Tribeca.
About the Presentation
Jane Lombard Gallery’s solo presentation of works by Squeak Carnwath will explore the medium of paint as a stand-in for human experience. Active in the Bay Area since the 1970s, Carnwath has developed a signature painting style incorporating text, repeated symbolic iconography, and abstract patterns. Fields of color are adrift with passing thoughts, quips, or news excerpts, often partly submerged in the textured shuffle of erasures and additions. Likening her iconography and messages to anonymous notes scrawled upon the wall of a public bathroom, Carnwath’s work is at once intimate and open to everyone, forming a catalog of her thoughts and daily life.
