This event has ended.

Nancy Margolis Gallery presents Aubrey Levinthal’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.

Aubrey Levinthal lives and works in Philadelphia, the city where she was born, grew up, and received her art education. Her paintings—a mix of still life and figuration—depict the common, day-to-day experiences that together make up one’s everyday life. Her subjects range from the local neighborhood, a frequented cafe, a corner bodega, her painting studio, interiors of her home, her immediate family, and private moments in her life, such as taking a bath, eating breakfast, or going to therapy. Painted with oil on panel of varying sizes—the smallest 12” x 12”; the largest 60” x 48”—Levinthal’s compositions illustrate her unique ability to convey feelings of intimacy that resonate with the viewer. The themes in her paintings are not new to her; they are a recurring focus that continues to intrigue and pull her in due to the rich narratives they evoke. Brief moments, whether ephemeral or banal, are applauded and elevated in her work, for she understands that the commonplace has its own beauty. No matter how inconsequential they may appear, they are embraced and given significance in her paintings.
