Elise Eekhout - Liza 04

In this painting the artist has played with acrylic, (ungilded) gold leaf and copper leaf to capture a deep sense of mystery. The abstract layers and impressionistic brushstrokes combined with typographic texts create an entirely new dimension. It brings a warm energy into your space.

This work is part of the series ‘Liza’ by Elise Eekhout and is an abstract translation of a female nude in the rain or under the shower, in which each facet reveals its own hidden beauty. The changing light throughout the day ensures that the metallic details stand out more or less. As a result, the painting changes over the course of the day.

About the artist:
Elise Eekhout is a visual artist whose work subtly combines painting and language in a layered dialogue. Inspired by literature, memory and landscape, she creates works in which text and image exist side by side – sometimes clearly visible, sometimes barely perceptible. Letters function both as meaning and as form and dissolve as soon as they are read.

With acrylic paint, screen printing and materials such as (ungilded) gold leaf and -silver gilding, Eekhout builds up surfaces that respond to light and movement. As the viewer's position changes, words appear or disappear and landscapes shift between presence and abstraction. Each work slowly reveals itself over time.

Themes such as memory, transformation and humanity's connection with nature run as a red thread through her work. Eekhout's paintings invite quiet attention and reward prolonged looking, giving collectors a contemplative work that continues to unfold long after it enters a space.
