Jana Euler

2021

Acrylic on canvas by Jana Euler that reconfigures a horse into a dreamlike, uncanny figure—its pearly body and a column of screw‑like horns down its face suggesting transformation, tension, and wounded beauty.

You'd first notice the shimmering, pastel washes and energetic brushstrokes that make the animal feel simultaneously solid and vaporous, while the repeated, spiraling screw forms and flecks of paint turn the pastoral into something mechanical and unsettling.

Euler situates herself in contemporary figurative painting by collapsing animal anatomy and manufactured elements to probe vulnerability, metamorphosis, and how painting can make the uncanny visible in our era.
