Stephanie Brody Lederman

I went down to soho today to see Stephanie Brody-Lederman's lovely pipe dream of an exhibition now on at O.K. Harris until Dec. 7th. The paintings and the artist's intention are memories and like most memories these are very insular and personal, the canvases are like rebus puzzles, a lamp + a bird equals? They are also beautifully painted and really are enticing, like children's book drawings. Most of the works are landscapes with some words floating about on them along with objects and trees, she really likes trees, as I do. She has a great sense of color and mixes up her images with washes of color and elements of design.
