 ‘When I began this series, I thought I would call it ‘Last Days of the Simulation.’  I was thinking about the fragility of our constructed reality and of our assumptions about what we can expect.'

Diane Rosenstein Gallery presents Phosphors, a solo exhibition of paintings and drawings by Marty Schnapf. This new series of emotionally complex tableaus explores the fluid interplay between the physical and psychological dimensions of human connection, isolation, and independence. These works often feature intimate pairings of intertwined figures embracing one another amid quasi-naturalistic landscapes that recede along the horizon. 
 
The sixteen paintings in this exhibition will be shown in conversation with four drawings from “Loves and Lovers”­– Schnapf’s ongoing series of charcoal works on paper. The drawings distill the artist’s expansive compositions to a primal play of shadow and light; they employ vigorous and expressive gestures to radiate the latent power within the body. 
 
Phosphors is Marty Schnapf’s second solo exhibition with the Diane Rosenstein Gallery.
