Avalon Art Evining 2019
Wednesday before Midsummer every year since 2008, Avalon Hotel and AGallery is hosting an Art Evening. A secret artwork is uncovered, and the artist is interviewed by a known art person. Trade and industry are invited together with the culture industry for cocktails and light food.
EVA HILD
Swedish sculptor. Lives and works in the south-west of Sweden.
With her organic sculptures, she has established a position on the international art scene and is represented in important private and institutional collections world-wide. Her art has met with a profound fascination at the way in which she expresses body and space, strength and fragility, presence and absence.
”My sculptures are bodies, exposed to pressure and movements.
Influence, pressure, strain. These words have been the foundation for my current projects that comprise communicating the theme in large, thin-built sculptures. Delicate continuously flowing entities. They reflect varying degrees of external and internal pressures, and how, as a consequence, perception of inner and outer space is changed or challenged.
On one hand, it is the mass in thin layers, running in a meander-like closed movement. On the other hand it is the empty space, air and light forming volumes, described by the contours of the mass.
My fascination is about the relationship between internal and external realities; the dualism between inside and outside, content and form, feeling and shape, impression and expression. It is a reflection of my inner landscapes of form. Bodies where presence and absence meet.
