In the summer months it explodes with color, a constant wonder and inspiration. My work has often grown from the abundance of color I see there.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn this recent series, it is not only color that informs my work. It is still the garden that inspires, as it lays dormant in winter. I have been studying the lines of plants as they die back and wait for the next growing season; muted earthy tones of gray and beige; seed pods on fragile dried stems; fragmented lines and sparse gestures.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese observations serve as a starting point rather than a subject to be depicted. I borrow the lines and develop them into complex drawings on canvas. Lines are layered, intersecting and generating new lines, — unexpected drawings surprise me as they emerge. Chaos and order coexist.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe thin papers I use are printed, painted and drawn on, then cut, rearranged and collaged onto canvas. By following what unfolds organically, the work gradually becomes its own universe with its own language.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn a very unsettling and turmoiled world, my art practice is my solace.\u003c\/em\u003e — Eva Isaksen\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a listing of more available work and biographical information, please visit Eva Isaksen's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Eva Isaksen | Main Page\" href=\"https:\/\/fosterwhite.com\/collections\/eva-isaksen\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eprimary page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Julie Himel | Main Page\" href=\"https:\/\/fosterwhite.com\/collections\/julie-himel\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on our website.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Eva Isaksen CV at Foster\/White Gallery, Seattle, WA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bau-xi.co\/seattle\/Isaksen%20CV.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEva Isaksen CV\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"black-bloom","title":"Black Bloom","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEva Isaksen works in a variety of media, most frequently collage, acrylic inks, graphite, and monotypes.
