Aubrey Levinthal

Philadelphia based painter Aubrey Levinthal transforms the often mundane and routine into the revered. Using the content of her refrigerator as inspiration, she creates still lifes from her leftovers, milk jugs, and fruit salad. As a student of art history she incorporates an appreciation for traditional composition while altering the surface by scraping, sanding, stroking, and glazing. These techniques inject motion and temporality into her pieces. Working with such a relatable subject matter, her paintings conflate the human experience and fine art.


Levinthal has recently displayed her work at exhibitions held at Mrs. Gallery in Maspeth, New York, Divided Gallery in Dayton, Ohio, Nancy Margolis Gallery in New York, Queens College Art Center, Woodmere Art Museum, and Ortega y Gasset in Brooklyn. In 2017 she completed a residency at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in County Mayo Ireland and received the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant in 2016.
