Leah Tinari
Mixed Greens, New York
We Could Definitely Run for the Presidency
Mixed Greens is thrilled to present Leah Tinari's third solo show with the gallery.
In this exhibition, she will show a range of new paintings and drawings, some of which
are her largest to date.
Since moving to New York in 1998, Leah Tinari has painted moments from her life, surrounded by friends and family. Each piece documents a celebration and functions
as part of a festive visual diary. While the characters depicted are quite specific,
the sentiments evoked by them can be universally shared.
With each piece, Tinari begins with a photograph. Like most people, she tends to use
her camera on the most rowdy and uplifting occasions. Parties and vacations, in particular,
inspire the most exciting documentation. For anyone who has followed her work, recurring
characters and places (Key West, for instance) become familiar. And, while her characters
are growing up, their actions feel overwhelmingly young and playful. These are not moments
of maturity, but rather scenes that evoke a sense of eternal fun, even in adulthood.
