EVA HILD – Avalon Art Evening 2019
Every Midsummer week since 2008, A Gallery and Avalon Hotel have hosted the Avalon Art Evening – an intimate art encounter at the heart of Gothenburg. Each year, a new work is unveiled. The artist remains secret until the moment of reveal, followed by a live conversation with a leading figure in the art world. Business, culture and guests meet over cocktails and light food. Art becomes the evening’s pulse.
In 2019, the invited artist was Swedish sculptor Eva Hild – internationally renowned for her flowing, organic forms that seem to breathe in their own presence and absence. Her work explores space and pressure, balance and collapse, the tactile edge between inner and outer worlds.
“My sculptures are bodies, exposed to pressure and movements. Influence, pressure, strain – these are the foundations. Thin, flowing structures, meandering forms. Delicate volumes shaped by both mass and void, surface and breath.”
Hild’s work lives where boundaries dissolve – between fragility and strength, body and environment, silence and tension. At Avalon, her sculpture became not only a physical presence, but a space for reflection.
