For the last 35 years, Kim Eubank has continued to evolve as a multimedia artist. She works in copper and vitreous glass enamel while also exploring printmaking (linocut and intaglio) and painting in acrylic, cold wax medium and oils. Kim’s current body of work is large-scale figurative painting. She focuses on human connection and disconnection illustrated in a gritty pop art style, using flat figures and bright colors with bits of collage to tell a story and convey emotion.
Her current works are original oil paintings on tar paper mounted on wooden panels, framed in hand fabricated aluminum frames. Multiple layers of oil paint are applied with wedges, spatulas and brushes. Kim carves deep into the layers with a scribe to create texture and depth. Her imagery is informed by her experience as a woman who must co-exist in today’s modern world. Relationships with others as well as the environment create beautiful harmony and uneven discord. Kim enjoys painting figurative works that tell an open-ended story, where the viewer brings their interpretation from life to the piece. She hopes that you, the viewer, will observe her paintings as a story unfolding. Think of her pieces as Holden Caulfieldsque- they will not change over time, yet you will interpret them differently as you grow through your life.
