Review:

Interesting analogy, Eder and Joffe seem to inhabit a confusingly misogynist standpoint but Eder
does'nt need to give his works away and can handle painting naturalistic style with more "craftsman
like" techniques, introducing out of scale images of domesticity; the poodles and kittens alongside
these crudely configured women, there is at least a dichotomy to add a simplistic tension. Quite why
such images continue to be exhibited, as they neither shock or inform, one can only hazard a guess
but they evoke a period in art history and I imagine that someone somewhere will recognize this work
as contemporary art or as delightful period pieces worthy of a passing glance.
