Edwin Schlossberg Edwin Schlossberg: Unseen Layers
The Brooklyn Rail Apr 28, 2026
Upon entering the brightly lit Ronald Feldman Gallery, I first thought with some dismay that I had come to see Unseen Layers, a show of Edwin Schlossberg’s recent works, on a day when the exhibition was being photographed. There were clamp lights mounted on tall stands, like those for a photo shoot—one spotlight focused on each of the fifteen painted panels hung along the walls. I soon learned that the lamps were part of the installation and that each was intended to enhance the highly reflective material that Schlossberg used for these colorful, ostensibly abstract paintings on aluminum panels. This retroreflective material, 3M Scotchlite, constitutes a pigment made with tiny beads or micro-prisms that reflect light directly back to the source and is typically used for industrial purposes such as roadway signage. The opalescent quality of the surfaces causes Schlossberg’s colors to shift in tone and intensity as one moves before the panels, each identical in size (36 by 60 inches) and hung horizontally, except for one work hung vertically in a rear office space.
