Essays by Robin Laurence and Ellen Van Eijnsbergen. “Eva Diener’s paintings & drawings were and are neither narrative nor allegorical. Although her figures are carriers meaning, they are not fixed symbols; rather they are images of complex resonance: they suggest, they evoke, they ’emanate’. We, too, are confronted by the size of the work, drawn into its physical and psychological energies, shocked, perhaps, by its violence, then held in place by the power of its commitments & its evocations. The personal, the existential and the political continue to entwine in Eva Diener’s art, since the forms and meanings that individuals construct out of their own lives cannot be separated from the fate of all life on Earth.”
