MiraCosta College Exhibit Features Art by Eva Struble

The show opens February 9 and continues through March 3 in the college’s Kruglak Gallery.

The exhibit will feature a series of paintings that deviate from Struble’s recent work to explore a makeover of her domestic and everyday spaces in lush transformation. With influences including post-impressionist Nabis painters, Japanese uki-e prints and a variety of textiles, these large oil paintings on canvas also bring focus to material and surface with saturated color and icing-thick paint application. Indefinite figures haunt the mundane and familiar institutional spaces as they morph into overgrown, unknown landscapes and structures.

Eva Struble is a San Diego and New York-based artist. She teaches painting at San Diego State University and received her MFA in painting from Yale University School of Art in 2006.

A reception for Struble will be held Thursday, February 18, 6–8 p.m., and the artist will give talks that same day at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Admission to the gallery, reception and talks are free and open to the public.
