On the occasion of this year’s Berlin Art Week, the exhibition presents a cross-generational and transcontinental survey of three artists, placing contemporary figurative painting in a historical dialogue. It focuses on new works by the US American artist Aubrey Levinthal (b. 1986) whose recent paintings are placed in a direct visual and thematic relationship with works by Biala (Janice Biala, 1903—2000) and Tal R (b. 1967), both of whom serve as significant points of reference and sources of inspiration for Levinthal. The exhibition not only connects a historical 20th-century position with contemporary figuration to form a transnational discourse on painting, but also creates an intimate dialogue on the representation of vulnerability and the passage of time in modern painting.
