The paintings of Inka Essenhigh are are "suspended somewhere between dreams and reality. The subjects swirl, slither, and ooze through space, creating mythically ambiguous and at times cartoonish figures that evoke a joyous mood of childlike fantasy. These animated characters inhabit strange, uncanny places—glimmering with an otherworldly sheen on the sleek surfaces of Essenhigh’s canvases." --Miles McEnery gallery, Chelsea New York.
