Eichwald, considered one of the most innovative artists of her generation, is known for her use of unconventional supports, particularly colored pleather, upon which she applies a variety of materials such as acrylic, oil paint, lacquer, shellac ink, spray paint or metallic markers. Describing her pictorial practice as “a confrontation of conflicting elements, forms and materials,” based on experimentation, Eichwald deploys a unique language of abstraction that is often vaguely figurative and reminiscent of Expressionism. Eichwald's artworks defy categorization: their subject matter, their materiality and palette have been known to challenge the viewers’ perceptions and expectations.
