The full expression of a 21st century human hope, anxiety, and everything in between. Each painting and print is a moment of distilled vision and the emotions that accompany them. They are the forces that shape her world. Ghosts and gods, monsters and maenads edge their way onto her picture plane. Both settings find their way into the artist's consciousness, becoming manifest in allegory. Essenhigh spends time both in New York City and rural Maine. The narratives find inspiration from her environs. They are fantastic visions rooted in the quotidian. Her elegant line defines space, rejecting the straight and embracing the curvy, the organic. An old cemetery emerges from a hazy gloom.Įach scene is vastly different, yet they all clearly belong to Essenhigh. Anthropomorphic condominiums break from their moorings. A yellow beanstalk makes a frenzied vertical climb, snagging a golden crown with blue jewel as it grows. Swirls of light lead us up to a heavenly night sky. Her signature use of line follows her experimentation, keeping them grounded and giving them continuity. It is through this approach that Essenhigh’s dazzling works are borne. Throughout each phase of experimentation, she created dialogues with her work, navigating how the media and brush interact, sometimes with genuine surprise at the result. Her substrates have included paper, canvas, and panels.
She has moved from using enamel paint to traditional oils and back creating hybrids of the two. Since her emergence into the art world during the late 1990’s, she has created a path for herself that consistently questions and redefines her relationship with her media. Through her painting, Inka Essenhigh provides an authentic voice.
