A "seemingly endless" parade of "small defeats" and "low-order delights", this Texas-born "New York staple," is a tad theatrical for many tastes. Which only confirms his sculptures in their "unhurried formality" punctuated by "bursts of flavor." The thing affected often feels "secular," articulating Gramercy Park glamour in the "droll context" of a "repurposed bank." More curiously still, done with little recourse to the "downtown eccentricities" so common to his rivals and peers. "Service is product" too, with Mr. Eilers. Expect collaborators circulating at his exhibitions like "fish in an aquarium," causing an occasional "awkward moment" or "interrupted conversation."
