Taking inspiration from Caravaggio's dramatic light, Bacon's distorted figures, and Picasso's freedom of form, Eymann engages in a series of constructions and destructions to reveal modern complexities.
bio
In 2018, Eymann’s works were shown with Avant Gallery at the Art New York art fair and at SCOPE during Art Basel in Switzerland. The following year, Eymann’s work was shown with Avant Gallery at the Art Miami art fair. Eymann’s first U.S. solo show took place at Avant Gallery in New York in March of 2020, just days after singer Marc Anthony acquired several of the artist’s paintings. Since then, Eymann has had several solo shows, participated in a number of group shows, and has been exhibited at Art Miami and Art Wynwood art fairs with Avant Gallery. Eymann currently lives and works out of France.

Throughout Eymann's work, one may not know if the forces that inhabit them are destructive, generative, hostile or transformative. What may have been an original image has been covered with layers of unfathomable patterns, and seemingly all of a sudden, these accumulated layers were ripped off, allowing for glimpses of the original image. The ideas of time, deterioration, and the way that time ravishes our memories come to mind and evoke décollage artist Jacques Villeglé. In Eymann’s work, however, there are no posters or ads, but portraits of characters whose identities have been stripped away. Everything is in process, evolving through transformation, change, and the wearing effects of time.
“My work is based on interpretation and play. Play with the first feel of the visitor. We are bathed in a museum culture and I like to distort by light, texture, movement or color.”
