Toby Woolf (b. 1957, Brooklyn) studied with Sasha Okun, and regularly in Yitzchak Greenfield’s studio. In this exhibition, the 2023-2024 works in charcoal and watercolor depict groups and families lined in soft contours, which suggest rescue and embrace, reassurance and escape, coupled with the tense reality of enclosed spaces. These elusive and suggestive works enable us to enter into our dreams, and join there with the inner world of the hostages, more than candid photographs of happier times allow.
