Counter with Lisianthus
2025
In Counter with Lisianthus, Aubrey Levinthal trains her attention on the quiet drama of a domestic surface, rendering a kitchen or bathroom counter with the kind of sustained observation that transforms the mundane into something charged with psychological weight. A bouquet of lisianthus, their ruffled petals suggesting both abundance and fragility, anchors the composition while the surrounding objects, ordinary and unassuming, become participants in a carefully constructed visual conversation. Levinthal works in oil on panel, a support that rewards her meticulous touch, allowing for the smooth gradations and precise surfaces that define her practice. The relatively intimate scale, just under eighty centimetres tall, draws the viewer close, reinforcing the sense of private, intimate space that runs throughout her work. Levinthal has established herself as one of the most compelling figurative painters working in the United States today, celebrated for her ability to locate emotional resonance in overlooked corners of contemporary life. Her interiors and still lifes carry an undercurrent of narrative suggestion without ever resolving into legible story, leaving the viewer suspended in productive uncertainty. Counter with Lisianthus is a strong example of this quality, balancing formal precision with an almost hallucinatory attentiveness to light and surface texture. The work arrives in 2025, presented through Ingleby Gallery, and is offered framed and signed, ready for display. For collectors drawn to figurative painting that rewards prolonged looking, this panel represents a significant and timely acquisition opportunity.
