College for Creative Studies' Woodward Lecture Series
in collaboration with the Museum of New Art presents:

Nicole Eisenman, painter/installation artist

 

 

During the past fifteen years, New York–based artist Nicole Eisenman has created a self-aware and psychologically probing body of work that includes installations, animations, drawings, and, with increasing focus, paintings - Brian Sholis. 

 

Since her New York debut in the 1995 Whitney Biennial, Eisenman’s unique brand of humor permeates her work. Simultaneously playful, biting, and raunchy, she challenges cultural and social norms associated with gender and sexuality, popular culture, and the current art scene.  In the last three years, she has had solo exhibitions in Zurich, Berlin, Mexico City, Los Angeles and New York. Artist and writer Arnold J. Kemp wrote: “Her drawing style is reminiscent of the WPA and artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Mangold and Paul Cadmus, but hers is a complexity that belies its accessibility.” The recipient of Joan Mitchell and Guggenheim awards, Eisenman is represented by Leo Koenig Inc in New York City.

 

The Woodward Lecture Series is made possible by a generous endowment gift from an anonymous donor.
