Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Nicole Eisenman. In their second solo exhibition at the gallery, Eisenman presents several large portraits as well as a range of figurative paintings featuring gatherings of people engaged in different social activities.

Nicole Eisenman, who came to be known in the early nineties for their outrageously funny figurative installations combining mural painting, sculpture, drawing and multi-media work, has always been fundamentally interested in painting. Since the nineties, when their work was often narrowly eclipsed through a lens of gender politics, their work has been unwaveringly committed to this interest. For this exhibition, Eisenman has developed a new intensely focused body of paintings. More than anything else, these new works are carving out an emotional space – a space that gives room both to the most intimate and to the most disillusioned encounters between people, the need to destruct as well as the need for two people to melt together in a kiss. Eisenman effortlessly moves between representation and abstraction, between expressive and impressive modes – the paintings are specific and yet shifting and ambiguous. Above all, their paintings are deeply human, they speak of the joy and the desperation of this specific moment in time, gloriously fleshing out those larger overarching human themes of love and friendship, alone-ness and mortality.Please find below a selection of titles for the exhibition.
