Inka Essenhigh is one of an acclaimed generation of New York–based painters engaged with figuration as a wholly contemporary endeavor. Immersed in the city around her, Essenhigh draws on an astute awareness of contemporary culture and infuses her works with a dreamlike, surreal sensibility—often directly related to a particular perception or the atmosphere of an encounter, individual, or scene. www.inka-essenhigh.com
