“Tone” is a word with multiple meanings. To Larry Greenberg, tone becomes the personal mode of operation. Working with muted colors, Greenberg explores compositional openings that create visual/spatial ambiguities. Greenberg’s paintings are abstract and intuitive. Close-valued hues in rectilinear geometries become luminous inventions. He uses color interactions and fresco-like surfaces to create mystical works.

Greenberg’s work emerges from his lifelong dedication to rigorous artistic inquiry, one that he shares with pre-renaissance painters, modern masters, and the postmodern mind. Thus, he works in his Brooklyn studio, a place that lets him ponder in solitude, allowing him to bring forth these poetic abstractions.
