Sarah Lubin: Frames
Nancy Margolis Gallery presents Frames, Sarah Lubin's fourth solo exhibition with the Gallery. Through her use of physical and emotional frameworks, the artist guides how viewers engage with the works while encouraging multiple interpretations. Each painting in Lubin鈥檚 show is a frame, a window into a world that is both familiar and strange.
Sarah Lubin explores the interplay between figure and setting.
Her subjects, sometimes alone, at other times in pairs or trios, fill the picture plane, often disappearing from the edges of the canvas. Casual yet refined, the figures do not pose for their pictures to be painted, but are caught unawares, suspended mid-gesture. Heads lie on bent arms, women rest supine, and lithe bodies stretch and slouch comfortably. As though immersed in a daydream, their gazes are not directed toward one another but are softly fixated on obscure points. Just as a frame separates an object from an onlooker, Lubin鈥檚 isolated figures maintain their distance from the viewer, imparting a sense of cool detachment.
