until 09.10. | #3150ARTatBerlin | Galerie Inga Kondeyne – Raum für Zeichnung shows from 4th September 2021 a solo exhibition with new works by the New York artist Eve Aschheim.
Drawing is an inner need for the artist. During the quarantine period, Eve Aschheim felt compelled to react to the greatly changed life in New York in her drawings. Things almost came to a standstill, the silence was broken by ambulances, then police sirens and protests. Despite the isolation, it was an inventive time in which she experienced a new way of responding mentally to uncertainties. The pencil guides her hand across her preferred material, Mylar. Pencil lines tentatively occupy the page and suddenly the blue magically and translucently spreads across the surface from behind.
Lighter than Air, 2021, Graphite, black gesso, ink, acrylic on mylar, 46 x 30 cm
The interweaving of spaces and their sudden expansion into interstices already characterised Eve Aschheim’s drawings in her early work. With elementary, precisely placed graphic elements, she built up complex structures in the pictorial space and destabilised them at the same time – sometimes explosively. Beneath the layered, permeable surface is a suspended state with radical linear anchors. Traces in subtle shades of white and black suddenly gain significance. They become fixed settlements and sometimes lead to elemental transformations on the surfaces of other drawings.
Arcs and Points, 2021, Graphite, black gesso, acrylic, ink on mylar, 46 x 30 cm
Aschheim observes the recent changes in her life with trepidation, but at the same time recognises that inconsistencies and unpredictability can lead to a new beginning.
Eve Aschheim, born 1958 in New York City; studied at the Universities of California, Berkeley and Davis; professorship at the Lewis Center of the Arts/Princeton University.
