Logan T. Sibrel

Brake For Your Sweetheart

January 29th - February 26th, 2022

Artist Reception February 5th, 2022,  4-7pm

Auxier Kline is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Logan T. Sibrel, Brake For Your Sweetheart, featuring a survey of paintings and works on paper created by the Brooklyn based artist over the past thirteen months.  

Sibrel’s newest body of work continues his overarching theme of intimacy as expericned from a queer point of view.  The subjects of these paintings and drawings are culled from an archive of personal photographs capturing moments of significance for the artist. These snapshots offer glimpses of the artist’s psyche, depicting the trajectory of a relationship unfolding in moments of reprieve; hotel room beds in foreign cities, cigarettes smoked in Kreuzberg, tablescapes dressed for meals shared. Sibrel captures moments of pleasure in the summer sun, scenes and still lifes of domesticity, and self-portraits reflecting time. These references, edited, reconstructed, and repeated by the artist’s hand in paint and pencil, are spliced together with snippets of text derived from song lyrics (sometimes misheard), literature, and eavesdropped conversations to create a visual diary that reflects a full range of emotional responses to Sibrel’s connection to these people, places, and objects.

“Regarding my subjects—I’m compelled to assert myself through various visual iterations until I reach some sense of clarity, then I move along. This has always served me well in terms of being able to keep making work, and it has the added benefit of occasionally making my personal life a little easier to navigate.” 

Logan T. Sibrel received his BFA at Indiana University in 2009, and his MFA at Parsons School of Design in 2011. He has shown his work internationally, at Auxier Kline (New York), Galerie Thomas Fuchs (Stuttgart), Galerie Kornfeld (Berlin), 1969 Gallery (New York), MOM Art Space (Hamburg), Danese Corey (New York),  Leslie Lohman Project Space (New York), and Underdonk (New York).  He is the recipient of residencies and awards including Palazzo Monti Artist Residency in Brescia, Italy, and WFAR in Ísafjörður, Iceland.
