Babcock Galleries proudly presents a major exhibition of paintings by Marylyn Dintenfass. Good & Plenty Juicy showcases Dintenfass?s recent work, which continues her longstanding exploration of the structural grid, lush complex color, and vigorous gestural brushwork. Dintenfass?s new oils address experiences of everyday sensual pleasures mixed with more transcendent gratifications, revealed in works that are beautiful and evocative, yet also mysterious and provocative. Lilly Wei has celebrated Dintenfass?s painting as ?lush but also astringent, with a glittered coolness and reserve that offsets its heat, her work offers a bracing example of an experimental painting for the present.?
Dintenfass has had recent solo exhibitions at the Mississippi Museum of Art (sponsored by the Andy Warhol Foundation), and the Greenville County Museum of Art. She is represented in numerous major public collections in Denmark, Israel, Italy, Japan as well as many important American private, corporate and public collections including: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Cleveland
