Ehrlich Steinberg Group Show "Alone, alone, all, all alone" Examines Loneliness Through Four Artists

The exhibition titled "Alone, alone, all, all alone" at Ehrlich Steinberg delves into the theme of solitude, drawing inspiration from Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." It examines the connection between loneliness and contemporary existence, emphasizing "numbing connectivity" and the definition of "alone" as being "wholly oneself." Featured artists include Ramsey Alderson, Ella Fleck, Ant Łakomsk, and Erin Calla Watson, each addressing the concepts of intimacy and separation. Alderson’s paintings portray reclining male figures as vertical columns, while Łakomsk’s works, Egyptian Wing and Egyptian Wing 2 (2026), contrast ancient Egyptian sculptures with modern figures. Watson’s photography subtly suggests human presence through architectural elements, and Fleck’s piece, a zombie resurrected by a ghost (2026), showcases one hundred glass vials containing bodily materials. The exhibition underscores the difficulties of representing loneliness.
