Meet Your Neighbors update: An exhibit of watercolors that were a “working antidote” to pandemic isolation

Our updates from neighbor and artist Milton Shinberg over the past two Covid years have been about decidedly non-painterly pursuits, such as his virtual lecture on the intersection of architecture and neuroscience, and his recipe for Passover matzah brei.

Now, we are once again getting updates from our local artists about upcoming shows. And they include Shinberg, who along with four other watercolorists is showing his paintings Glen Echo Park’s Yellow Barn this Saturday, November 20th and Sunday, November 21st.

Shinberg says this show will include portrait paintings inspired by his pre-Covid travel to India, “and was begun in part as a working antidote to the isolation early on from the pandemic.” Other paintings reflect his long-term interest in architectural settings here in Washington, the subject of a solo show at the Art League of Alexandria Gallery in 2018.

Shinberg has been drawing for much of his life and currently teaches a course on drawing at Catholic University. He has also taught a graduate seminar since 2004 at Catholic University on perception/neuroscience, architecture and art (Shinberg is a founding partner of the award-winning architectural firm Shinberg Levinas).
