German-born, California-based artist Marianne Eichenbaum paints bold, colorful works straddling the boundary between abstraction and figuration, often melding floral imagery with mysterious, amorphous shapes. The resulting compositions, rendered in rich hues of oil and acrylic, feature impressively vivid textures and folds. These close-up images alternately evoke traditional still lifes and Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings of flowers, although Eichenbaum's imagery and palette remain fiercely original. Her canvases are dominated by rich reds and yellows that glow from the careful buildup of layered pigments. As a testament to the strong influence that artists from the Old Masters to Modernist abstract painters have exerted on her development, Eichenbaum varies her tools and style of application dramatically. Certain works are grooved and ridged with thick areas of paint, while others appear as smooth as the flower petals they seem to portray. No matter the mode, her brushstrokes create dynamic, tight compositions that draw viewers' eyes and command the attention with their rich interplay of gentle and rough textures, bright and dark tones. | |
