Claudia Doring-Baez Exhibits Paintings Inspired by 'Last Year at Marienbad' at La Galleria La Mama

Claudia Doring-Baez presents a diptych exhibition titled 'The Raw and the Cooked' at La Galleria La Mama from March 15 to April 14, 2018. The show features her paintings alongside works by Sophie Iremonger, with Doring-Baez's section curated by Karen Wilkin and Iremonger's by Robert James Anderson. Doring-Baez's paintings explore Alain Renais's 1961 film 'Last Year at Marienbad,' using stills from cut scenes to avoid icon dependence while delving into the characters. Her approach combines breezy freshness with anachronistic echoes of Ecole de Paris visions, creating an ethereal space between stylization and non-style. The artist previously exhibited work inspired by Proust's novel in Bushwick in 2014. Wilkin notes that the paintings evoke the quality of pre-Nouvelle Vague posters with their handmade immediacy. The exhibition is located at 47 Great Jones Street, between Lafayette Street and Bowery in New York City. One featured painting is 'I love, I already loved to hear you laugh' (2018), oil on canvas measuring 24 x 18 inches.
