Overview

Artist, critic and poet Eve Wood has a ribald sense of humor and for decades has had a distinctive presence in the Southern California art world. This is her first monograph, featuring a collection of off-beat, imaginative color studies populated with birds, animals and irreverent, sometimes naughty personae. Short, laugh-out-loud prose accompanies each of the portraits and vivid scenes. Her dog sleeps on a Ukranian-gold and blue rug; her raven vacuums the house; absurd characters from movies and art stand in for obnoxious or dreamy colors; and the birds – so many birds – sing of freedom.

Praise for Past Works:

"Quickened by passion and imagination, the body of poems that makes up Love's Funeral is astoundingly alive."
–Mark Strand, Pulitzer prize winning poet laureate

"The exactitude of Wood's language coupled with the strength of poetic vision, concretizes otherwise overwhelming themes into simple and beautifully executed poetic moments that are imbued with compassion and consideration of all that makes us divinely human."
–North American Review

"In a creepy-funny wall-work by Eve Wood, hooks in the shape of bent human fingers probe the space around a chunk of burled birch."
–Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times

"A fresh, saturated palette of emerald, crimson, azure, and canary and quirky expressive brushwork, as well as distended figures and perspectives that at times approach outright caricature, sacrifice realism at the altar of post illustrative mannerism."
–Shana Nys Dambrot, Modern Painters
