Van Doren Waxter / Eleven Rivington will present Richard Diebenkorn (USA) and Jeronimo Elespe (Spain) both of whom have painted the figure in an interior. Made in the late 50s through the mid 60s, Diebenkorn worked from the model in ink wash, charcoal, watercolor and gouache attempting to capture a moment of personal repose. Jeronimo Elespe’s work is a focused meditation on the artist’s life as he creates small-scaled pictures of interiors and portraits of his wife, family and friends. The works of Diebenkorn and Elespe illuminate ideas of observation, intimacy and contemplation.
