EJ Hauser
Bio
EJ Hauser is a painter who lives and works in Brooklyn, and is represented by Derek Eller Gallery in New York and Philipp Haverkampf Gallery in Berlin. EJ’s paintings are both graphic and open to interpretation, teetering between iconography and something familiar but abstract. This imagery shifts between omnivorous references both ancient and current, her paintings are mysterious talisman, employing buzzing pallets and marks that dance. Stuttering lines form a visual code like musical notes, which coalesce with atmospheric layers to create ineffable messages. EJ’s source library includes potent power objects, which are cross-pollinated with formal qualities and care found in domestic craftwork, like rugs, fabrics, wallpapers, and mosaics, as well as digital visual characteristics, which she interprets through drawing and then transliterates onto canvas. Each piece is composed of multiple layers of color. For EJ, the high vibration of color connects directly to the energy and aliveness of her nature-based subject matter. Barn Spirits and Garden Dwellers are titles of recent series that aspire towards optimistic poeisis. Her paintings and drawings have been shown in numerous group exhibitions in New York, including Cheim & Read, Sperone Westwater, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Regina Rex, The Journal, and Sargent’s Daughter’s. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Frieze, Turps Banana, and The Brooklyn Rail, among others.
