nyc gold
The premise of Eva Beierheimer’s silkscreen series "NYC Gold" is the New York City skyline with all its night-time lights. The image is reduced to a black and white pattern, which the artist transforms into a connect-the-dots drawing in gold. The pattern is thus generated by the city itself and becomes an imprint of its light scenery. It can also remind of the patterns that one sees when looking at the city's nocturnal silhouette squinting.
Eva Beierheimer often experiments with the possibilities of the printing process to create forms by adding layer upon layer. In NYC Gold (V2), the gold pattern is printed several times with small or large displacements. In this edition, each print is unique.
NYC Gold/no1b (V2) (sold, more variations will be available within a week or so)
The Approximation series also plays with variations of overprints, gold on black, in various formats. The series has no fixed edition and all the prints are unique.
Eva Beierheimer is an Austrian artist living in Sweden since 2007. Physical, cognitive and textual structures are often the basis for her work. She uses geometric stencils and repeats and varies these to create abstract forms. She also uses text as the material for the artwork to take form.
