The long-awaited first monograph on contemporary artist Doron Langberg
Prominent among a new generation of figurative painters, Doron Langberg creates work that brims with emotion and revels in the medium’s physicality. From club scenes to gay intimacy to wildflowers and sweeping landscapes, the broad scope of themes and experiences in Langberg’s work are united by the artist’s deeply felt explorations in the medium of painting. Their expansive yet sensitive take on relationships, sexuality, nature, family, and the self proposes how painting can both portray and create queer subjectivity.
This expansive first monograph features more than 100 paintings made by Langberg over the past ten years and features new writing by Ian Alteveer, hannah baer, and Gaby Collins-Fernández alongside an illuminating conversation with Langberg’s close friends, the artists Njideka Akunyili Crosby and Salman Toor. Beautifully designed, this richly illustrated volume is filled with full-bleed details and multiple gatefolds, allowing for an immersive dive into the work of one of the most innovative contemporary painters today.
Doron Langberg is a painter whose tender, gestural canvases explore desire, intimacy, and memory. Langberg studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Yale School of Art and exhibits internationally in galleries and museum shows.
Gaby Collins-Fernández is an artist, writer, and teacher based in New York.
