Eva Lundsager (b. 1960) evokes deep space and a sense of watchful waiting in her work. Her paintings use multiple horizon lines, atmospheric space, solid, ground-like areas, and they tend to suggest real world space, but a different space from the one we know. She has shown extensively throughout her career with recent solo exhibitions at Talley Dunn Gallery, Dallas; Phillip Slein Gallery, St. Louis; Praise Shadows, Boston; Van Doren Waxter, New York; and the Sheldon Art Museum, to name a few. Notable group exhibitions include the Daum Museum; Coral Gables Museum; Whanki Museum, Seoul; Decordova Sculpture Park and Museum; and the ICA Maine, among many others. She is the recipient of the MacDowell Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship in Painting. Her work resides in the permanent collections of Art in Embassies; Dallas Museum of Art, Deutsche Bank; Harnett Museum of Art; Schwartz Art Collection, Harvard Business School; JP Morgan Chase; MIT List Visual Art Center; Progressive Museum of Contemporary Art; and the St. Louis Art Museum, among others. Eva lives and works in Boston, MA.
