NOTES
Eva Lundsager’s paintings depict a vivid, unreal world that hovers between landscape and abstraction. For In a Broken Dream the artist created the impression of a surreal landscape by employing brushstrokes of varying sizes to produce a sense of both depth and dreaminess. The buoyancy of the piece is carefully countered at the bottom of the canvas with moments of dark browns and vibrant reds. Along with the provocative implications of the title, these darker tones anchor the work in a more ambivalent, surrealist idiom.
