Our Evenings
2026
In "Our Evenings," Mark Joshua Epstein layers acrylic paint across a handmade panel to build a surface that is simultaneously intimate and quietly monumental. The work carries the tactile weight characteristic of Epstein's practice, where the artist-made support becomes as meaningful as the image itself, the physicality of wood and gesso and paint merging into a unified object rather than a mere ground for representation. Warm tones and compressed compositional space suggest the hazy, compressed quality of memory, a domestic moment stretched into something closer to myth. Epstein has developed a distinctive visual language that draws on mid-century illustration, folk traditions, and the psychological undertow of everyday life, translating these influences into paintings that feel both familiar and slightly displaced in time. "Our Evenings" exemplifies this sensibility, inviting sustained looking as figures or forms reveal themselves gradually within the layered paint film. The title itself points toward repetition and tenderness, the cumulative texture of shared time rather than any single event, and the work rewards a collector attentive to the emotional architecture embedded in pictorial surfaces. At 76.2 by 58.4 centimeters with a substantial depth of 5.1 centimeters, the panel has a sculptural presence that distinguishes it from a conventional stretched canvas. Signed by the artist and currently offered through Asya Geisberg Gallery, "Our Evenings" represents Epstein working at the height of his formal and conceptual ambitions, producing a piece whose handmade integrity and psychological resonance make it a compelling acquisition for collectors drawn to contemporary painting that prizes craft as a carrier of meaning.
