Description
With a knack for subversive humour
Thick Air brings together a new body of work by Hungarian-born artist Eva Beresin in which she offers a radical and intimate exploration of her life. The paintings can be seen as the culmination of a decade in which Beresin's art has gained both speed and inventiveness.
Her paintings of the carnivalesque are animated by a genuine interest in the intricacies of the soul. Grotesquely uneasy and playfully bold, the compositions capture her personal history as well as universal human themes.

About the Author
EVA BERESIN lives and works in Vienna since 1976, she has developed her sensitivity for subversive humor throughout life. In painting, Beresin translates the daily horrors of existence into a tender examination of the contradictory nature of human behavior. Her instinctive attention for social transgressions and their comical aspect creates contagious relief in the facing of tragedy.
