About
Nicole Eisenman

Nicole Eisenman has made narrative drawings, paintings, and installations with an irreverent sense of humor since the early 1990s. She was originally dubbed a “bad-girl” painter for her emotionally charged content, which often included feminist inspired takes on female subjects. She combines historical elements of painting—from Renaissance to modern art—with appeals to popular culture, including pornography, horror films, and punk music. Her complex narratives always involve the human figure, whether alone or in a crowd, to evoke feelings of anxiety, fear, and isolation.
