art doron langberg paintings israel

The article reviews Doron Langberg's exhibition "Landscapes" at Jeffrey Deitch in New York, featuring large-scale oil-on-linen paintings that reflect on the artist's identity as a Jewish Israeli painter after October 7, 2023, and the subsequent conflict in Gaza. The works depict three personally significant locations: Yokneam in Israel, Drohobych in Ukraine (where the artist's father survived the Holocaust), and a queer beach community on Fire Island. Langberg's accompanying statement asserts that Palestinians deserve justice and liberation, framing painting as a means to confront atrocity.
