Candice Eisenfeld Abstract Paintings
Artist Comments
"This painting was inspired by my travels through the U.S.," shares artist Candice Eisenfeld. She paints an ethereal landscape with a glowing field enclosed by an abyss of deep cool hues. "The blue abstract areas are finished with a smooth, glossy shine while the landscape area is not glossy."
About the Artist
As an American exploring issues of identity, artist Candice Eisenfeld paints through the lens of the first American art movement, the Hudson River School. Rather than depicting a specific locale, Candice’s artwork evokes a sense of place. These "inner landscapes" are invented, and often reference photographs taken during travels in southern Appalachia and the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains. Whether real or imagined, her paintings are influenced by the Dutch Masters, Tonalists, and Chinese painting. Produced on a single wooden panel, the ethereal landscapes are often joined with segments of aqueous color fields which act as commentary for the landscapes, like the chorus in a Greek play. The crisp, hard edges separating the landscapes from the color fields command a sense of order in an otherwise fluid and painterly surface. With two or three sections of the panel competing for attention, the painting creates multiple focal points. Candice's art has been displayed in embassies in Namibia and Belarus, held in the collections of Norwest Bank and Northwest Airlines...

"Part of the meditation process is to allow your mind to clear, follow a journey, and allow thoughts to pass through," says artist Candice Eisenfeld. "The vertical, thin section in the middle is an abstracted version of the landscape, it is varnished while the other parts have no gloss. This process was done to illustrate how our perceptions of the world and experiences can change, and how we can recognize these lenses to achieve clarity. The left side depicts peaceful, floating, abstracted thoughts."

In this painting, artist Candice Eisenfeld portrays two separate visions of a verdant forest. She delves below the surface of perceived reality and what lies beneath that perception. Although produced on a single wooden panel, the ethereal landscape is joined with a segment of green, aqueous color fields which act as a chaotic emotional commentary to the scene. "The crisp, hard edges separating the landscape from the color fields command a sense of order in an otherwise fluid jungle of green washes."

Artist Candice Eisenfeld presents a painting within a painting emanating warmth and light from the middle. "These paintings are meant to explore levels of meaning as they connect our personal experiences to a world severely distanced from ourselves," states Candice. Her interest lies in understanding what is at the core of human nature—desire, curiosity, love, and hope. "It is narrating a personal archeology of the id while simultaneously relating to other people what is timelessly universal."
