"Dear Eva,

 

I know you are attentive to the architecture of a place, to the passage of time, attentive to spatial questions. You also let yourself dream and finally, by a very precise narration, you gradually set the scene.


Above-below, below-above, what movement for a construction?
Your paintings, your volumes on a large stage, give birth to new perspectives. Minuit spécial (Special midnight), the title of your exhibition, is filled with images: metamorphosis, rocking movement, sparkling, colorful materials. The signs of a state of transition enhance a language closest to precious intimacies.

 

Thought blows on the skin… After midnight… What happens to our bodies during this odyssey? This is no longer to be taken lightly.

 

Your mutations are displayed as gentle transformations.


The supple skins stretch, spread out to get lost, precisely outline the gestation of a pictoriality linked to a poetic arrangement. Space, object, thought, movement appropriates the scene. Minuit spécial, the clock is ticking..."
