ABOUT NICOLE'S WORK
Nicole Eisenman is an artist who is expanding the critical and expressive capacity of the Western figurative tradition through works that engage contemporary social issues and phenomena. Over the course of nearly four decades and working across various media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking, Eisenman has restored to the representation of the human form a cultural significance that had waned during the ascendancy of abstraction in the twentieth century.

She draws on narrative and rhetorical modes—including allegory and satire—to explore such themes as gender and sexuality, family dynamics, and inequalities of wealth and power. At the same time, she stages dialogues with artists from the past, both by referencing specific works and by employing stylistic and thematic approaches derived from art historical movements. In a series of paintings of beer-garden scenes (2008­– ), for example, Eisenman updates Renoir’s tableaux of bourgeois leisure, replacing the nineteenth-century French characters that populate Renoir’s originals with a dense, New York crowd. The Triumph of Poverty (2009) presents a complex allegory of contemporary economic conditions. Eisenman’s skill as a painter of imaginative compositions is evidenced not only through the array of social types represented but also through the bold contrasts of color that inject the work with emotional and psychological intensity.

As a draftswoman, Eisenman deftly conveys the weight and movement of the human body through skillful manipulations of line and shading. In her print Man Holding His Shadow (2011), she uses lithography, a medium at one remove from the artist’s hand, to reflect on the limits of representation while maintaining her painterly style of mark making. More recently, she has brought her wry, intelligent vision to sculpture, proving that she is equally adept at imagining and shaping forms in three dimensions. In her challenging engagement with the human figure and investigation of social meaning, Eisenman is developing new conventions of figuration to address enduring themes of the human condition.

BIOGRAPHY
Nicole Eisenman received a B.F.A. (1987) from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, Kunsthalle Zürich, and the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany. In 2014, she was the subject of a midcareer retrospective exhibition organized by the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis, and that travelled to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego.

关于Nicole的作品
尼科尔-艾森曼是一位艺术家，他正在通过参与当代社会问题和现象的作品来扩大西方具象传统的批判和表达能力。在近四十年的时间里，艾森曼通过各种媒介，包括绘画、雕塑、素描和版画，恢复了对人体形态的表现，这种表现在二十世纪的抽象主义盛行期间已经减弱了文化意义。

她利用叙事和修辞模式--包括寓言和讽刺--来探索诸如性别和性、家庭动态以及财富和权力的不平等等主题。同时，她通过参考具体的作品和采用艺术历史运动中的风格和主题方法，与过去的艺术家进行对话。例如，在一系列啤酒花园场景的画作中（2008年），艾森曼更新了雷诺阿的资产阶级休闲画作，用密集的纽约人群取代了雷诺阿原作中的十九世纪法国人物。贫穷的胜利》（2009）展示了当代经济状况的复杂寓言。艾森曼作为一个充满想象力的画家，他的技能不仅体现在所代表的一系列社会类型上，而且还体现在大胆的色彩对比上，为作品注入了情感和心理上的强度。

作为一名绘图员，艾森曼通过对线条和阴影的巧妙处理，巧妙地传达了人体的重量和运动。在她的印刷品《抱着他的影子的人》（2011年）中，她使用平版印刷，一种与艺术家的手相距甚远的媒介，在保持她绘画式的标记风格的同时，反思表现的极限。最近，她把她狡猾、聪明的眼光带到了雕塑上，证明她同样善于在三维空间中想象和塑造形式。在她对人类形象的挑战和对社会意义的调查中，艾森曼正在开发新的形象惯例，以解决人类状况的持久主题。
