The energy of the city is always somehow feeding my work –the precariousness of workers with buckets balancing on scaffoldings, bikes zooming through red lights, steam rising from manholes, delivery people with packages piled high bumping up the curb, the annoying drilling, the constant tearing down and rebuilding, piles of thrown-out stuff on the street, strange left-over spaces, cardboard boxes- crushed, banded, stacked every which way, construction sites that expose temporary views never seen before, bleary panhandlers bolstered by cardboard signs, barking dogs, dirty melting snow mountains stained with dog pee between walkways and gutter, floating candy wrappers…it all resonates.

— Eve Aschheim, 2017

Aschheim’s canvases hum with the allusive potential of marks: indications of motion, presences—or, perhaps more accurately, situations—arising out of subtly reworked, almost pearly depths. Lines radiate and scatter, or sift in fragments through space. Everywhere one senses the artist’s diligent attention. What might a line do here? What would it say to this form here? The viewer absorbs this process of richly accumulating associations: the openness and searching of scattered lines; the conversations between paired forms, the transience evoked by scraped-down surfaces. The separate sensations gather as mysterious, multivalent impressions.

— Jonathan Goodrich, “Rigors Apart: Ying Li and Eve Aschheim at the New York Studio School”, ArtCritical, June 25, 2013
