Human loneliness, indefinite melancholy, and radical tenderness. Aubrey Levinthal's (born 1986 in Philadelphia, USA; lives and works there) figurative works depict everyday activities—shopping, waiting for the bus, or dining out with friends—and capture the uncertainty and constant change of daily life. It is her precise observations of everyday life that tell a realistic, unsentimental, and prosaic story, particularly reflecting the emotional landscape of a woman who navigates between internal and external perspectives, public and private spaces, shaped by self-doubt and multiple role models. The facial expressions of her figures are as enigmatic as they are direct; their moods fluctuate between gentle, contemplative frowns, fleeting smiles, and anxious stares. The monograph "Cloud Cover" presents a first comprehensive overview of Levinthal's work, featuring essays by Russell Tovey and Dorothea Zwirner.
