VIEW THE EXHIBITION David Urban in Conversation Executive Director of Two Rivers Gallery and former Corkin Gallery Director, Sara Knelman, sat down with David Urban to discuss his 2018 solo exhibition Lonely Boy. WATCH NOWDavid Urban in Art in America “Urban—who first trained as a poet—has achieved a contemporary and concise painterly equivalent to the complex, impure modernism of Wallace Stevens’s mature poems. This is relevant, resonant painting that speaks “of ourselves and of our origins” (to borrow a phrase from Stevens) and of the interdependence of the imagination and the world. If one allows oneself the time to be taken in, the work produces a strangely joyful and profoundly meditative effect.” — E.C. Woodley, Art in America (December 2012) READ MOREHealth & Safety Protocols Corkin Gallery is committed to ensuring the safety of our clients, visitors, and staff.
