Opening – 1 MAR 2025, 6-8 pm

Austin Eddy is known for his colorful and abstract paintings. His works combine geometric forms 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 stylized, often humorous compositions. His works reflect an intimate, personal dimension and invite viewers to discover stories and relationships behind the abstracted forms. Inspired by folk art, modernist painting, and graphic elements, Austin Eddy combines tradition and innovation, which has led to his developing a distinctive aesthetic. In his first solo exhibition at Wentrup – “Everything In Its Place” – the Brooklyn-based artist presents a new cycle of still lifes.
