Sunbathing
2023
Sunbathing presents two figures at rest, their bodies rendered in Doron Langberg's characteristically luminous and tactile approach to the human form. Executed as a two-plate variable edition monoprint on Lanaquarelle 300 lb Hot Press, the work is further distinguished by the artist's own hand-coloring, meaning no two examples from the edition are precisely alike. The heavyweight hot press substrate accepts the applied color with exceptional clarity, allowing Langberg's characteristic warmth of palette to read with the same intimacy and directness found in his large-scale paintings. Langberg has established himself as one of the most compelling figurative voices working today, known for his deeply personal depictions of queer life, desire, and tenderness. Sunbathing carries that sensibility fully intact, translating the vulnerability and ease of unguarded repose into a printmaking format that rewards close attention. The variable nature of the hand-coloring transforms each impression into a singular object, positioning this work at an compelling intersection between the reproducibility of print and the irreproducible touch of painting. Measuring 54.6 by 68.6 centimeters and signed by the artist, the work is offered unframed, allowing collectors flexibility in presentation. Available through Craven Contemporary, Sunbathing represents an accessible entry point into Langberg's practice without sacrificing the intimacy and emotional specificity that define his most celebrated works.
