Marvin Liberman: Confinement Drawings
Images added to a submission album owned by Marvin Liberman in Art
The long and unpredictable period of confinement, fear, and having to live with an incapacity to see what the future might, or might not, hold for all of us, is something many of us may have confronted. It was as if one lived in an unending, threatening fog. And so, there was no possibility to draw anything specific, grounded or precise. The drawings I turned to could only look inward, to what for me is an internal river within all of us. Was it possible to record anything of this subconscious, fluid movement? And what meaning might come forth from it? As these works evolved, they insisted on a lack of clarity, a melding of forms, shadows and disappearance into undefinable vagueness. Form fading into atmosphere, though very much present. That these drawings use only soft graphite and erasers has let me deepen my love of the subtleties that such basic tools allow. That these are internal and wander in a darkened space is simply the nature of the hand that drew them. -

This is 1 of 15 drawings I made from late Nov. 2020 to late May, 2021. None are 'planned', but simply beginning with an layered surface of forms, shadows and erasures. From that base I began to develop a set of subtle relationships until the surface evolved a certain presence.© Marvin Liberman, 2021

Marvin Liberman: recent sculpture
Images added to a submission album owned by Marvin Liberman in Art
My sculptural work has focused on how trauma changes those who have lived through it, and what 'marks' it leaves upon us. This series, called Traces (or Huellas in Spanish) uses simple materials: gauze fabric, tree branches and muted color. They're intended to offer a sense of intimacy, even though the work is at times disquieting. My drawings take another path, trying to uncover meaning through a process of wandering in a somewhat subconscious space. -

This is the partner to number 3. More 'fragile' in appearance and lighter in color. Because I work in the realm of the tragic, each piece can be disquieting in their presence. And because my work is not descriptive, it allows viewers to interpret what is in front of them. I see my work as intimate and lit with a certain drama cast on them.© © Marvin Liberman 2021

This is the 2nd of 2 pieces that stand alone, yet hover near a wall. I think of them as male and female, though this is simply my own response to them. Once again implied movement is central to this work.© © Marvin Liberman 2021

Because I work with no initial planning, (both in sculpture and drawing) I never know what will evolve out of the wood structures that are intuitively built. It is only when the gauze fabric is applied and the color determined that I get to 'meet' what it is I've been making. In the end, they no longer need me, but live on their own, with their silent voices.© © Marvin Liberman 2021

This piece is more singular, not enclosed but implying a dual movement between branch and gauze form. In my childhood and youth I was a dancer, the very 1st art form I came to know. So implied movement is innately a part of my work.© © Marvin Liberman 2021

This piece creates a relationship between 2 forms, enclosed by it's wood structure. Because my previous series reflected being enclosed, as many refugees found themselves, I used branches in part to express that condition.© © Marvin Liberman 2021
