ARTIST STATEMENT

Eva Okrent is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Providence, RI. Trained as a painter, Eva's work interprets the world through landscapes, portraiture, and still life vignettes. 

"The Lemonade Stand" - her current body of work - features zesty, bright paintings of lemons. Sometimes fresh, sliced, pickled, or spoiled, the lemons often brighten softly hued studies of domestic spaces. Historically referenced by old masters to showcase travel, status, and discovery, "The Lemonade Stand" takes a lemony-eye'd view of Eva's new home state, foregrounding views of sweet and sometimes sour scenes.
