Eliza
Douglas

Born in 1984 in New York.
Lives and works in Berlin and New York.

Eliza Douglas’ paintings are deployed in various series — disembodied hands and feet, male models in minimalist interiors, birds, pack of cigarettes inside shirt’s pockets, exhibition views of Josh Smith’s shows, crumpled t-shirts, amongst others —that seem to give birth to inexhaustible variations and reconfigurations. While her pictorial vocabulary recalls aspects of Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism or Hyperrealism, her paintings also interrogate the status of the image, its construction, its circulation and fluidity. This results in an ensemble of new yet recogn sable images that are sensual yet cold, laced with cool humour, and that are sometimes tainted with gothic romanticism, yet immediately photogenic and consumable.
