Marissa Apstein / Late Checkout

Marissa Apstein is a contemporary artist based in New York City. She holds a BA in Studio Art from the University of Richmond and has exhibited work in both New York and Grenoble, France. Marissa works primarily with oil paints and draws inspiration from the subtle intricacies of daily life and how those moments ground and shape our memories. Through her use of color and distorted perspective, she crafts narratives that play between the worlds of real life and the imaginary. Marissa’s work transcends the ordinary, offering viewers a fresh perspective on the familiar. 

This piece is presented as part of our International Women's Day Exhibition, After You: The Broken Telephone Collection, running from March 6th to 8th. Over a year in the making, the Broken Telephone Collection began with one artist working from a reference photograph; each subsequent artist created a piece inspired by the one before her, and so on, and so forth.

Each acquisition from this collection will include a complimentary 11" x 8.5" print of the reference piece that precedes it. The inspiration piece for this artwork is Amelia Valentine, I'll Always Answer. Please note, all artworks will be shipped after the exhibition has concluded.
