‘Synergy’
Media/Technique: Oil, charcoal, acrylic and spray paint on double canvas, stretched over two stretcher frames within a custom-designed and built artist’s shadow-joint frame, tailored to the work.
Year of creation: 2023.
– One-off –
‘Synergy’ arose from observing a collaborative working process in a scholarship artists’ studio house. It depicts not merely a portrait of two people, but a moment of artistic harmony in which closeness, concentration and mutual energy become visible. The body postures facing one another and the expressive use of colour condense the scene into an image of collaboration as a living, multi-layered process.
The black-stained shadow-joint frame made of softwood was specially crafted for this work and transforms the painting into a deliberately designed object.
Dimensions of the double canvas without frame:
70 cm × 130 cm
In my works, I use exclusively highly pigmented artists’ paints, which possess high luminosity and lightfastness. For each unique piece, I design and build an artist’s frame myself, aiming to create an overall effect through a combination of craftsmanship and conceptual care.
Shipping:
The work is stretched onto a stretcher frame and dispatched in an artist’s frame – including a certificate of authenticity, the corresponding catalogue number and the artist’s signature on the front.
Alexej Eisner
In his work, nostalgic, (post-)Soviet narratives are embedded within biographical elements of everyday life. In doing so, personal and collective memories of the traumas of Russian-German history are interwoven. Eisner presents figurative elements which, through expressive gestures, scraped surfaces and vivid colour schemes within a single composition, create alternating moments of clarity and decay, conveying a sense of authenticity and raw emotion.
