London / Venice
Victoria Miro is delighted to participate in Frieze Los Angeles (Booth B8) with a solo presentation of new paintings by Doron Langberg.
Prominent among a new generation of figurative painters, Doron Langberg creates works that, luminous in colour and often large in scale, celebrate the physicality of touch – in subject matter and process. Depicting a range of subjects, from queer love to wildflowers and sweeping landscapes, the broad scope of themes and experiences in Langberg’s work is connected by his deeply felt use of paint. Speaking about his work, the artist has said ‘Intimacy and closeness are at the centre of my practice. Whether it’s a portrait of a friend or depictions of a couple in bed, I want to express the multivalent and complex nature of relationships, highlighting our connectedness to one another.’ Langberg’s expansive take on relationships, sexuality, nature, family and the self proposes how painting can both portray and create queer subjectivity.
