Logan T. Sibrel

Logan T. Sibrel's (born 1986 in Jasper, IN, lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) paintings and drawings depict moments of great joy and beauty, but also fear, sadness, desire and aggression. Frequently only part of the mostly male figures is depicted. Sibrel's cropping can feel simultaneously intimate and alienating-fragmentary stories are told that touch you through their authenticity and vulnerability. Sibrel's artistic maneuvers include overlapping, shifted perspectives, and text fragments that appear like snippets of overheard conversations and thus create a collage effect. This book is the artist's first comprehensive publication with works from the last twenty months. While the first part presents the artist's paintings, the second part presents his drawings with the edges of the backing paper digitally removed so that it looks as if the images were drawn directly into the book. von Remy, Meg;Steele, Max;
