exhibition · 2026-04-22

The latest exhibition by Doron Langberg at the 1969 gallery features emotionally intense portraits of friends, family, and fellow artists. Originally from Israel, Langberg, who studied at UPenn and Yale, has evolved from his earlier pieces that blended intimacy with overt homoerotic themes to works that prioritize psychological insight over sexual content. Running until Sunday, February 26, at 103 Allen Street in New York's Lower East Side, the show includes pieces like "Julia and Snake," showcasing fiber artist Julia Bland amidst a dynamic interplay of abstraction. Another notable work, "Mark on the Beach," delves into varying emotional reactions within a scene. Quang Bao's new gallery space presents this collection, highlighting Langberg's impressive versatility in materials and emotional depth.
