Vincent Serbin is a New York-based artist currently living and working in the Catskills. His latest series of canvas works explore a new medium and technique for the artist, whose career began by developing a unique method of photomontage (what he calls the “negative collage”). Though spanning decades, for the last 12 years, Serbin has dedicated his practice to an approach that investigates the materiality of the medium. Influenced by the avant-garde strategies of artists such as Robert Ryman, Alberto Burri, and Frank Stella, Serbin is interested in the process of art than in its material realization. 

The process of Serbin’s work may be even further thought of as indicative of the experience of the artist as a creator himself. In the creation of art there is always a giving and taking of oneself. The artist’s work lays bare an expression of the self for public viewing. Yet, it is not the full self, only an aspect that the artist desires one to see. It is a game that the artist plays with his works: at once devoted fully to their execution, but understanding the distance between their materialization and his own identity. 

Serbin has exhibited extensively around the US including recent exhibitions at the University of Texas and at Pirate Contemporary Art in Denver.  

He is currently represented by the Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery.
