About the Item

Sara Eichner wants to create a space where point of view cannot be fixed. Optical games stand in for her struggle to comprehend the complexities of seeing. Using simple drawing tools and paper, she creates a grid of converging lines in perspective to establish a basic unit of pictorial space. That bound unit: lines and perspective; becomes the foundation for building complexity. Variables such as repetition, color, incremental rotation, inversion, concentration and dispersion are applied. Properties of the initial unit are subverted and transformed. Perception is slowed — and space for contemplation created — by a play between solidity and transparency, mass and lightness, concentration and diffusion. A build up of marks aggregates into optical mixtures and resolves into patterns created by processes of rotation and layering. These patterns and binary relationships emerge slowly and networks of lines converge and disperse creating multiple visual paths through fields of structured accumulation. Sara Eichner has exhibited her work in New York City and nationally with solo shows at Sears-Peyton Gallery (New York), PPOW Gallery (New York), McDonough Museum of Art (Youngstown, OH), and Pentimenti Gallery (Philadelphia, PA). Her work has been included in group shows at galleries such as McKenzie Fine Arts (New York), Bronx Museum of Art (New York), International Center for Printmaking (New York), ArtSpace (New Haven, CT), Westby Gallery at Rowan University (Glassboro, NJ) and the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas (Austin). Sara has received awards such as a NYFA grant for painting (2000), and a Lower East Side Printshop Keyholder Residency. Her work is included in numerous collections such as Wellington Management (New York), Credit Suisse (New York), US Department of State (Washington, D.C.), MediaMath (Los Angeles, CA) and Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA). Sara holds an MFA in painting from Syracuse University and a BA from Kenyon College. She was born in Labrador, Canada, and has lived and worked in Brooklyn since 1998.
