EILEEN OLIMB

The 33rd Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition
August 14 – August 25, 2018
Reception: Thursday, August 16, 2018 6-8 PM

The mixed-media paintings of Eileen Olimb pop with a colorful vitality; and in their form, they seem to mimic the passage of time as felt in urban and suburban spaces. Working Day, as the title indicates, recreates the restless optimism with which artists are wont to create, while also alluding to the drudgery of the typical 9 to 5 work day. This piece almost seems tribal in appearance, and pays homage to the deeper connection humans feel, even when frustrated by the impositions of a social history they did not voluntarily create.
