Doron Langberg, "Sleep" 2014, oil on linen, 50 x 70 inches

Adjunct Painting professor Doron Langberg exhibits his work at the Danese Corey Gallery in Chelsea, through December 23, 2015. The show features Langberg’s powerful paintings of shadowy figures within suggestive interior spaces, made with his striking and distinctive bravura painting technique.  

Langberg has said, “using a sexual image can be a powerful vehicle” to demonstrate a broad range of emotions – desire and loss, vulnerability and tenderness. While his paintings are formed by deeply felt personal experience, they transcend their homoerotic content and embrace the universal human condition. He views the figurative tradition through a prism that references art history – Ingres, Bonnard, Manet, Whistler, Homer.

Doron Langberg was the 2011 recipient of The Schoelkopf Travel Prize at Yale University and a finalist for the New York Foundation for the Arts Painting Fellowship in 2015. He earned a BFA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MFA from Yale University. He is the Adjunct Professor in Foundations at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and Painting at Montclair State University. He lives and works in Queens, NY.
