Career

Lundsager is known for her abstract landscapes completed primarily in oil paint. She also works with watercolor and sumi ink. Lundsager drips, pours, and splatters paint to create a balance of order among non-objective shapes. Her oil paintings are highly impressionistic but capture the meteorological and topographical changes on a landscape. Lundsager describes her watercolor paintings as “acts of ‘hysterical ecstasy’”. Lundsager’s work is highly influenced by painters Marsden Hartley, Charles Burchfield, and Odilon Redon. Her work is evocative of Yayoi Kusama and her signature infinity nets. Lundsager secured her first solo exhibition at the Stephanie Theodore Gallery in Brooklyn, New York in 1993. In 1995 Lundsager was shown in the Jack Tilton Gallery. She received the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2001. In 2005 Eva Lundsager was exhibited alongside Hans Hoffman in the Greenberg Van Doren gallery. She published a book of her watercolors, titled Ascendoshpere, in 2009. She currently serves as a part time lecturer at Tufts University.
