The largest definitive mid-career survey of the work of celebrated American artist Nicole Eisenman? to date, 'Dear Nemesis, Nicole Eisenman 1993–?2013' includes more than 120 works, charting the development of Eisenman's practice across painting, printmaking, and drawing from the 1990s to the present.0Over the past twenty years, Eisenman has developed a creative and versatile vision that combines high and low culture with virtuosic skill. Fusing centuries-old art-making conventions and a multitude of art historic influences - including impressionism, German expressionism, and twentieth-century social realist painting - with contemporary subject matter, she depicts settings and themes as varied as bar scenes, motherhood, and the plight of the artist. Among her core concerns are depictions of community, identity, and sexuality.?0Eisenman’s continual representation of women (both “butch” and “femme”) and female love not only imbues the practice of figurative painting with an audaciously queer bent but also recasts art history in a feminist light. Her wit spares no one and nothing, and it is indeed through her humor and the discomfort caused by her work that she communicates the multifaceted richness of the human condition. Her incisive sociopolitical critique operates through the quotidian and the absurd, in ways that are both formally playful and visually breathtaking.0Exhibition: Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, USA (24.1.-13.4.2014)
