The powerfully sharp and singular vision of Brooklyn-based artist Nicole Eisenman is based on a feminist and psychoanalytic approach to carefully studying her own inner and outer worlds. A storyteller who hides nothing, she positions much of her “feeling-based” art, which includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations and videos, as a visual critique of representation addressing issues of power—namely, the conflicts of identity, such as sex, race, gender and class, within a contemporary culture shaped by globalism, social inequality and technology.
