Echo Eggebrecht (born 1977, Bangor, Maine) is a painter living and working in Brooklyn, NY.[1]
Work
Eggebrecht received her BFA in 2000 at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, her MFA at Hunter College in 2006 and also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME. Her art residencies have included at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Omaha, NE and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. She is represented by the Horton Gallery.[2]
She has held solo exhibitions at Horton Gallery, New York; Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, New York; Ter Caemer Meert Contemporary, Kortijk, Belgium; Sixtyseven, New York and Sixspace in Los Angeles as well as group exhibitions at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; ICA; Nicole Klagsburn; and White Box in New York; Groeflin Maag Gallery in Basel, Switzerland, Poets on Painters at the Ulrich Museum and the Flinn Gallery at the Greenwich library.[3]
In a New York Times review of Eggebrecht's solo show at Gallery Sixtyseven, Roberta Smith wrote that Eggebrecht her art "favors empty landscapes, whose roiled grass is meticulously rendered and dotted with wry contradictions and bits of Americana."[4] Another reviewer, John Haber, feels that Eggebrecht's paintings tell detailed, if disturbing, stories.[5] Much of her art is small-scale and she favors a faux-naive or surreal style.[6]
Eggebrecht worked as a painting instructor at Tyler School of Art, Temple University and later took a full-time, tenure track assistant professorship at .Carnegie Mellon University.[7]
