Triumph of Painting

April 2, 2007

There are some great surrealist artists in this Saatchi collection. Maybe others have a new and better word for it, but it seems surrealist to me in that it involves dream states, madness, mixed signals etc.

    Nope – oil or oil and enamel on canvas. You can click through to the artist collection.

    That’s HER! Thanks!

    I saw Inka Essenhigh’s work while flipping through a pricey book on contemporary figurative art in a bookstore, and have been trying to remember her name ever since.

    Her sensitive biomorphic style has the sensuous forms & rich tones reminiscent of Sage, Tanguy & Matta, but not at all rendered like the PoMo kitsch of Pop Surrealism that always gives me the feeling that it should be viewed ” in quotes “.
