Early life

Nicole Eisenman was born in 1965 in Verdun, France[7][8] where her father was stationed as an army psychiatrist. She grew up in Scarsdale, New York[9][10] and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1987.[11] Her great-grandmother was Esther Hamerman.[12]

Work

Eisenman's figurative oil paintings often toy with themes of sexuality, comedy, and caricature.[13] Though she is known for her paintings, the artist also creates installations, drawings, etchings, lithography, monotypes, woodcuts, and sculptures.[13][14] With A.L. Steiner, she is the co-founder of the queer/feminist curatorial initiative Ridykeulous.[15]

Eisenman's paintings often represent expressionistic portraits of characters that she says are portrayed as her friends and even herself. These characters are based on Eisenman's observations of life from a cultural and contemporary perspective.[16] She is represented by Hauser & Wirth[17] and the Anton Kern Gallery.[18]

Sculpture
One of the three massive asexual figures that is mart of a larger work called, Grouping of Works from Fountain.

Eisenman also works in creating whimsical sculptures that have been shown at the 58th Venice Biennale, 2017 Skulptur Projekte Münster, and the 2019 Whitney Biennial.[19]
