Take a tour through the exhibition CLOUD COVER with artist Aubrey Levinthal (b. 1986, Philadelphia) in the gallery Haverkampf Leistenschneider in Berlin. The show is accompanied by a publication with texts by Dorothea Zwirner and Russell Tovey and published at Distanz Verlag.
Aubrey Levinthal’s Cloud Cover evokes the weight of heavy atmospheres and weary minds alike. In her paintings, worlds and lives are blanketed, softened, weighed down and hushed. Bodies are wrapped in thick winter clothing; wintery streets cloaked in drifts of snow. Focusing on ordinary activities such as commuting, shopping, or eating at a restaurant with friends, Levinthal’s paintings maintain a delicate balance between melancholy and warmth, lonely introspection, and community. Speaking at once to the personal and the universal, they capture the precarity and flux of daily life.
