Rebecca BrodskisThe Last Ones Awake

Oil-on-linen portraits of the friends who became the French painter’s chosen family during her years in Berlin in the mid-2000s.

The paintings in the vault of St. Agnes picture close friends from Brodskis’s time in the city, when cheap flats and makeshift studios let a young, largely foreign circle of artists live on little and depend on one another. Her sitters appear absorbed and inward rather than posed.

Together the portraits remember that community and a Berlin that has since changed. Brodskis, born in France in 1988, lives in Paris.
