Bio

Eveline Luppi’s work is recognized for its dynamic and emotional use of color and movement to express abstract metaphors about the People and Places in her life.

A lifetime member of the Art Students League in Manhattan, well known for its alumni such as Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keefe, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, she has studied studio art for more than 10 years, including painting, printing and sculpture.   An active member of art communities in Manhattan and New England, Eveline founded and directed the Eveline Luppi Gallery for International Contemporary artists from 2008-2011, with a gallery in Wickford, RI and venues in Boston and NYC. The gallery closed in 2011. Luppi is the instructor of abstract painting at the Providence Art Club, Providence, RI.

Venues around the country have exhibited Eveline's paintings. Her work can be found in many private collections.  Travels around the world, including extensive parts of the US as well as cities from Europe to Hong Kong and other parts of Asia are expressed in her paintings.

Luppi's sense of structure and color is heavily influenced by the New York School of Abstract Expressionism; she considers herself a third generation New York School Artist with a close bond to the artists of the 50’s including De Kooning, Motherwell and Franz Kline.  Her geometric painting style, evolving over the past twenty years has crossed many boundaries and has been influenced by Futurism, from Italy, Vorticism and Suprematism which dates back to the early 1900’s.  In particular, the technical executions in her compositions are founded heavily on her lifelong studies of Matisse and Cezanne.

Her paintings, embraced with each brushstroke is varied in color from vivid to subdued, and composed of form ranging from simple to complex patterns which express restfulness as well as movement.  Recent work such as "Yield in Transit", a large canvas expresses Metropolitan flows and fluxes against a background and reflects Geometric language of painting which is the result of years of experimentation and definition.  She also has drawn heavily on her readings of authors like Proust, Henry Miller, and Gertrude Stein.  Taken from Proust her painting of Albertine is a large painting that uses Matisse-like zones of color and shape that depicts a character from Proust wearing a blue flamboyant, period hat and carrying a mirror.  Through this internal language of shape and concepts, developed over decades, she feels she is enabled to create and reveal her worlds of art.
