A selection of recent work by New York City-based artist Marc Librizzi. Librizzi’s work looks towards the inanimate artifacts of contemporary life to contemplate personal and interpersonal feelings of desire, self perception, humiliation, joy, and the connectedness of the built world around them:
“Although the flesh and blood depiction of a person is reserved for the rare occasion, their presence and concerns sit foremost. With slight modifications and careful arrangements, familiar sights take on new roles in scenes that blur the lines between still life, portraiture, and landscape. Here there is often a sense of ‘caught in the act’, allowing for the intimacy to witness an event at its precipice, a state of incompletion, at its most vulnerable.”
