Inka Essenhigh The Old New Age at 303 Gallery.wmv

James Kalm pedals up to the opening of Inka Essenhighs most recent selection of paintings, The Old New Age. In these works the artist has concentrated on developing a sharp focus depiction of the natural landscape that surrounds her summer studio in Maine. Mingling a fantastic Surrealism with the romantic sublime, forest maddens and spirits in the mist appear to observant viewers. Includes an interview with Inka Essenhigh

Inka. she is not from Peru. How she got that name?

illustrative paintings had great importance before there were cameras. then surreality had great meaning before there was computer graphics. it is very beautifully painted, but wish it did more than just showed me a 2d of a 3d "imagi-scape".

yes, she is taking risks right now, but I do not know that she is succeeding. I almost think that I like the paintings still because she is so pretty. I miss her early flat enamel work. most of the comments about Tooker, magic realism, fantasy art are correct i am afraid. Out of a group the group of these paintings I think a couple in the beginning worked because they were not as illustrated. I will still keep my eye on her and still not only because she is beautiful but cause shes taking risks
