Since the 1990s, Mari Eastman has produced drawings and paintings with a casual yet deft touch. Her whimsical strokes nod to fashion, popular culture, and the personal and draw our attention to the allure found in seductive garment surfaces, the empty gaze of a model, or an escapist moment discovered in nature. Eastman often uses alternative materials that physically complicate her sensual and seductive surfaces, disrupting the seamless flow of her work and allowing the viewer to both participate in and stand back from today's image-feed lifestyle.
