Damian Loeb (1970) implements classic representational painting techniques, a mix of historic compositions, and the contemporary narrative tropes of cinema as tools to guide – or misdirect – the viewer. Despite the fact that the final image takes months to produce, Loeb creates the possibility that these scenes are actually spontaneous, vulnerable and real, reluctantly giving away that which is most precious: the intimacy of privacy. The artist explains, “I know a piece is finished when I am invisible and the moment is everything.”
