Since the 1990s, Nicole Eisenman (born 1965) has carved out a place for herself as a central figure in American painting, with a distinctive style that shifts between abstraction and figurative representations of social environments. It makes use of historical art references, playfully invigorating elements of the Renaissance, Baroque and Social Realism, as well as German Expressionism, linking them to the present in an extremely cunning and distinctive language.
