Austin Eddy

Press release

Wentrup is pleased to open "Everything In Its Place", the first solo exhibition of the American painter and sculptor Austin Eddy.

Austin Eddy is known for his colourful paintings somewhere between abstraction and reality. His works combine geometric shapes with figurative allusions and are reminiscent of the Cubist and Modernist traditions. Eddy often works with texture and layering, giving his works a tactile quality. His themes revolve around everyday scenes, emotions and narratives, which he captures in stylised, often humorous compositions.

His work reflects an intimate, personal dimension and invites viewers to discover stories and relationships behind the abstracted forms. Inspired by folk art, modernist painting and graphic elements, Eddy combines tradition and innovation, through which he has developed a distinctive aesthetic.
