Featured works in GIF by Aubrey Levinthal, from the artist’s solo exhibition Mirror Matter, currently on view at Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh, through September 13, 2025.
Levinthal is known for paintings that capture passing moments in the lives of a cast of characters in downtown Philadelphia. Often autobiographical, her works possess a sense of melancholy introspection tinged with gentle humor and connection.
Created on the occasion of an exhibition at Ingleby Gallery in Edinburgh–the artist’s first solo exhibition in the UK–these new monotypes isolate key motifs from Levinthal’s new paintings, offering a sort of lexicon of the artist’s recent practice.
“In my painting practice I feel the pull of two strong, and sometimes oppositional impulses; graphic shape and tone and atmospheric space and color. It’s been really interesting to be able to pull apart these formal drivers of the work, taking two versions of the same image in separate directions or stacking them back together, deliberately, in layers on the same monotype.”

“Despite the ordinary situations she describes, Levinthal’s paintings imply that drama is less interesting, less potent, than the fleeting minutes and hours of our days. The artist finds a magical balance of the monumental and the delicate.”
—Jennifer Higgie, writer, critic, and former editor of Frieze
