Stinted: A Figure Show w/Diana Eaves

About this event

Diana Eaves was born in Waycross, Georgia. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kennesaw State University. Eaves’ work has been included in various juried exhibitions such as Physique at Kai Lin Gallery and New Visions hosted by the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art. Eaves was also the Design Team leader for a sculpture dedicated to Silenced Voices in the permanent collection of The Southern Museum. She primarily works with oil paint but is proficient in other mediums like watercolor and charcoal. Inspired by contemporary figure painters such as Freud, Bacon, and Saville, the human form often takes center stage. The paintings are united by expressive brushwork that make the figures buzz. They often share central, monumental compositions that refuse to let their presence be ignored. They float against cloudy backgrounds, built up by layers of color that peek between each moment of creation. The bent and stretched positions of the figure are vulnerable in their space and appeal to the audience from a voyeuristic approach. By spacing the figures apart, there is a surreal, ritualistic quality that a mirrors rituals of intimacy. This event will be held in our Gallery
