Eva Jospin (born in 1975, lives and works in Paris). The forest – an incarnation of nature in the wild – is also where one encounters oneself, an inner journey. Eva Jospin works with cardboard to create volume and perspective, creating evocative bas-reliefs. A painstaking process of cutting, assemblage and overlay coupled with an element of violence in her gestures enable her to carve out dense yet delicate, mysterious and soothing forests. The artist realizes works that manage to be both frontal and immersive, the perfect media for mental projection via a familiar material devoid of any intrinsic aesthetic quality. |
