Nicole Eisenman's exhibition 'STY' at 52 Walker in Manhattan brings together sculpture, video, painting, and drawing to explore the role of artists under authoritarian regimes. The show features imposing humanoid figures and paintings that reference both art history and contemporary political tensions, including the fraught relationship between artists and collectors. Eisenman draws on themes of protest and resistance, echoing the legacy of artists who have challenged war and fascism throughout the twentieth century. The exhibition also reflects Eisenman's own experiences as a vocal critic of military conflict, highlighting the risks faced by those who speak out in turbulent times.
