New York-based artist Nicole Eisenman has created a self-aware and psychologically probing body of work that includes installations, animations, drawings, collages, assemblages, found objects, murals, and paintings. Much of her work focuses on different ways of coping; however she uses humor in a way that is different from her contemporaries. Her flair for drawing pulls you in, then stops you in your tracks with content that might not be so funny. Eisenman offers an insight into the isolation experienced in the pursuit of artistic creation and the very human need to seek diversion from that same pursuit.
Eisenman’s work will be on view in the 2012 Whitney Biennial, March 1-May 27, 2012
