Lindquist’s landscapes evoke Brooklyn’s industrial past and future residential growth. The exhibition documents specific sites of building and decay in the present Williamsburg waterfront and surrounding areas of Greenpoint, where construction cranes, glass and concrete structures rapidly supplant dilapidated warehouses and beaches of rubble, in anticipation of residential towers and public promenades. These paintings and drawings seek to document the transformations through a subdued palette, balancing graphic sensibility with painterly animation. Lindquist’s work explores landscape as a memorial. As both physical fact and repository for collective memory, landscape becomes a work of the mind, the internal projection of an ethos onto a perception of external environment.
