This summer, as part of this year’s Edinburgh Art Festival, Ingleby presents the first major exhibition in the UK of paintings by Philadelphia-based painter, Aubrey Levinthal (b. 1986). Levinthal’s paintings capture passing moments in the lives of a cast of (often autobiographical) characters in downtown Philadelphia. Something of the city’s light and colour has seeped into the scumbled greys that distinguish the muted, often melancholy tones of her palette. Each work offers a glimpse of a passing moment and part of an unspecified, usually urban story, echoing the oddness of everyday life, and reflecting the communality of human experience.
