In his third exhibition with Dowling Walsh Gallery, artist Sebastian Blanck offers new oil paintings featuring his "favorite subjects:" his family members and, most often, his wife, fellow artist Isca Greenfield-Sanders. Blanck’s colorful, expressively painted images celebrate the simple intimacies of domestic life—a cup of coffee, a neighborhood stroll, an afternoon in the sun. At a time of universal longing for contentment and peace in our everyday lives, Blanck’s paintings offer a respite from the world's woes. “Upon first glance,” writes curator and art historian Matthew Israel, “Sebastian Blanck seems simply a painter of idyllic scenes. However, given the attention they deserve, Blanck’s works reveal a complex investment in formal experimentation, an unexpected tension between figuration and abstraction, and an engaging and unconventional approach to contemporary realism.”
