Eva Struble
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eva Struble (born 1981, Kentucky, US) is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York City.
She received a BA Visual Arts in 2003 from Brown University [1] in Providence and an MFA in 2006 from Yale University School of Art [2] in New Haven.
She has shown work in many exhibitions including “Three Positions” at Lombard-Freid Projects [3] in New York, “The Triumph of Painting” at the Saatchi Gallery [4] in London, “Works on Paper” at Green Hall at Yale University [5] in New Haven and “Group Show” at List Art Centre [6] at Brown University in Providence. She is represented by Lombard-Freid Projects [7] in New York.
Eva Struble’s paintings feature natural landscapes and architectural elements meeting in an almost abstract style. They are executed on a large scale and reminiscent of traditional Japanese landscapes in their oddly described perspective, or apparent lack thereof. Her canvases often feature areas of intense brushwork, mapping out a cliff-edge or area of vegetation for example, over a smoother sometimes monotone ground. There is no doubt that Struble’s work is figurative, yet sometimes the central features are so isolated from context that they become more intriguing simply as painterly expressions. The juxtaposition of intense mark-making in the depictions of nature and the more controlled rendering of man-made architectural features forces a confrontation between order and disorder and the real-world impact of one type of place on the other, all through the metaphor of painting.
