Eveline Luppi

Solo Show - “Starry Nights”

Oceanus New York - NYC

30 Wall St, New York, NY 10005

——

Eveline Luppi's series "Starry Nights" harks back to an earlier tradition of nocturnal landscapes, such as van Gogh's emotionally pyro-technic "The Starry Night" (1889) and Edvard Munch's moodily introspective "Starry Night" (1893).  She recasts this motif into her own modernistic interpretation, capturing a view of the exhilarating starry structures changing and expanding above the dark mystery of human nocturnal existence.  There is a fearless exuberance and a deep humor in this existential engagement.  

The stars are shown as movements of pure energy around the moon; they seem like quasi spirits or angels, against the uniform dark depth of the sky counterbalancing the black shapes and flows of human civilization---the homes and endless roads and lines of power.  Unexpected shapes, sometimes slightly absurd and always poignant, appear in this mix---a donkey, a bicycle, trees.  The total effect in one of joy in human existence, and embracing of the mystery we inhabit.
