Louis Eisner

Two works: (i) Box 27; (ii) Box 29

Louis Eisner's diptych works, *Box 27* and *Box 29*, showcase the artist's distinctive layering of oil, graphite, and marsh ink on linen, creating surfaces that feel simultaneously excavated and built up. Geometric forms emerge and recede within each composition, evoking a sense of architectural containment while maintaining an organic, tactile quality rooted in the raw materiality of the linen ground. Together, the two works engage in a quiet visual dialogue, exploring the tension between structure and fluidity, mark-making and erasure.
