Damian Loeb "Verschränkung and The Uncertainty Principle"
Acquavella Galleries
This event has ended.
Loeb’s new paintings are based on a series of photographs he took of his wife Zoya over the past 7 years, depicting her in moments of quiet calm. She is seen nude or in states of undress, and yet seemingly comfortable in the (imagined) presence of her husband. The images reveal the intimate moments of a life's narrative, exposing both the anticlimactic and the revelatory nature of privacy. Loeb uses his established visual language, sampled liberally from both popular culture, cinematography and art history, to create a constant yet subtle tension throughout the body of work. It is this silent melodrama and Zoya’s constant presence that defines the series more than any individual action or mood portrayed in the paintings.
