Booth B8
Victoria Miro is delighted to participate in Frieze Los Angeles 2023 (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.
A new text on the artist by Evan Moffitt will accompany the presentation.
Born in 1985 in Yokneam Moshava, Israel, Doron Langberg currently lives and works in New York City. He received his MFA from Yale University School of Art, holds a BFA from the University of Pennsylvania, a Certificate from PAFA, and attended the Yale Summer School of Music and Art, Norfolk. Langberg has attended the EFA Studio Program, Sharpe Walentas Studio Program, Yaddo artist residency, and the Queer Art Mentorship Program. He is the recipient of the American Academy of Arts and Letters John Koch award for painting, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, and the Yale Schoelkopf Travel Prize.
An exhibition featuring new and recent works by the artist is currently on view at Rubell Museum Miami (28 November 2022–12 November 2023). Recently, Langberg’s works have been on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston as part of the major group exhibition A Place for Me: Figurative Painting Now (until 5 September 2022), at The Frick Collection, New York, as part of Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters (until 11 September 2022), and at ICA Miami, in Fire Figure Fantasy: Selections from ICA Miami’s Collection (until 30 October 2022), the first major exhibition to showcase the permanent collection.
