Featuring 12 works produced over the course of the last four months, Diagrams and Dilemmas foregrounds Marcus Leslie Singleton's characteristic figural subjects, but shines a new and rather prescient light on the scenes of life that take center stage. Though seemingly quotidian upon first inspection, Singleton's paintings of joggers, friends, daily life, and domestic spaces all reveal latent references to the technologies that infect and inflect both public and private domains.
