Monya Rowe Gallery is pleased to announce a two-person exhibition of new paintings by Lacey Black and Aubrey Levinthal titled Daily Nights. The title of the exhibition is borrowed from an Emily Dickinson poem that explores the desire to preserve the “perfect dream”, a metaphor for embracing the element of surprise and uncertainty. The poem explores the connection between the perceived and actual: inner and outer, content and uncomfortable. Although working in very different ways, Lacey Black and Aubrey Levinthal, are both concerned with exploring the passing of time and changing realities. Largely autobiographical, and emotionally layered, the works in this exhibition explore the fact of existence.
