Courtney Love inspires Liza Jo Eilers New York exhibition

Liza Jo Eilers presents her first solo exhibition in New York, 'Starland Silver Sash', at Grimm gallery, running through 1st November. The show features paintings that splice together scenes from a Hole concert, including the work 'The trickle down effect (mint)', which explores the relationship between frontwoman Courtney Love and her fans. Other cultural icons such as Nina Simone and Gena Rowlands appear in split-screen paintings, reflecting Eilers' interest in pop culture's double bind regarding representations of women. The artist, who earned her MFA from the School of the Art Institute Chicago and works with hydrochromic and thermochromic inks, discusses themes of gender, performance, and societal beauty standards.
