Eve Aschheim @ Lori Bookstein Fine Art

From the Press Release:

Eve Aschheim’s latest body of work is marked by the artist’s expanding exploration of color, by her deepening engagement with non-Euclidean geometry and by her
further extension of Kazimir Malevich’s interest in the fourth dimension toward elusive and shifting perceptual states. Fractured and reconfigured pictorial spaces are
articulated by vibrant hues ranging from ice blues and acid greens to strident yellows and bright magentas. The artist’s use of color not only broadens her pictorial
vocabulary to further inform her compositions, but she also uses color to create specific sensations and atmosphere. Color is used in different ways in these new
paintings. In a single painting, this can include high key colors that interact with neutral color areas, flushes of transparent color that simultaneously appear to move
forward and backward through pictorial space, and color that is suggestive of light.
Indicative of the artist’s interest in states of transition, Aschheim’s work is often marked by a sense of implied motion. Pictorial structures seem to disassemble, come
together and reform. The result is a dynamic fictive reality that exists between multiple states of visual constructions, allowing the viewer the opportunity to see one
image, and then another without being able to settle on a final picture. In an interview with John Seed from 2013, Aschheim revels her interest “in that moment before
thought has fully coalesced, when the choices are like a glimmer of some possibility.” [1]
