Artspace is proud to announce a new series of 30 hand-painted unique editions by painter Doron Langberg: Oren and Bennet , 2022. Oren and Bennet (2022) is the artist's first-ever series of its kind and closely follows his 2021 solo exhibition Give Me Love at Victoria Miro in London. Doron Langberg is hailed by critics for his prominent voice and idiosyncratic approach to figuration. Langberg’s paintings are known for their luminous colors, fluid gestures, and intimate subjects that together bridge the legacies of painters such as Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard with contemporary depictions of queer culture. Hand-painted with energetic brushstrokes and splatters of acrylic, this new body of work beckons empathy through our sense of touch, introducing humanity and intimacy to themes of queer sensuality. Proceeds from the sale of this series will be donated to support Visual AIDS, a New York-based nonprofit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. Langberg is considered one of the vanguard artists working in his field today, among peers such as Jennifer Packer, Louis Fratino, and Salman Toor. Working directly from life, the artist draws much of his inspiration from a personal constellation of family, friends, and lovers.
