Eva Beresin

Thick Air presents a recent body of work that offers a radical exploration of intimacy and of domestic life by hungarian born artist Eva Beresin. It could in many ways be seen as the culmination of a decade of gained momentum both in speed and invention of her art. Beresin paints the carnivalesque with a genuine interest for the convolutions of the soul. Her compositions hold her personal history and a shared humanity both in grotesque unease and playful boldness. 

The catalogue contains texts by Angela Stief and Kenny Schachter. Complemented with an interview by Cordula Reyer and short paragraphs by writers, collectors and gallerists who form a kaleidoscope of perspectives on her work. 

The publication will accompany her Exhibition Thick Air opening in May 2024.

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.
