Louis Eisner

Louis Eisner is a multidisciplinary artist who focuses primarily on painting and sculpture. His paintings vary in imagery and subject matter, with some pieces featuring abstract compositions. One of Eisner's most notable series, Void Paintings (2011), consists of large-scale paintings with no visible subject or sitter, presenting only an ambient background that reflects nothingness. In contrast, some of his works incorporate recognisable images such as popular cartoon characters or brightly coloured children's slides. In his 2013 exhibition Leviathan, Eisner showcased a rare sculpture in the form of a large mobile featuring cutouts of cartoon drawings from pop culture. This artwork was intended to parallel Thomas Hobbes' theory of social organization, which advocates for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Eisner is also an active member of The Still House Group, an artist-led organization based in New York.
