Eva Hild: Ceramic Artist

Although I tend to call myself a painter, I will openly admit to having a scandalous relationship with ceramics. The feel of the clay, the physicality of the medium, the creation of objects, and the pure sensation of being pulled into clay all just light my fire. This said, the work of Eva Hild further drives me to my sensual affair with clay. Her ceramics sculptures are just stunning.

New Work

These three paintings add color to the monochrome through the shadows between the panel and the white exhibition wall. The panel's front consist of table salts embedded in layers of polymer resin. The backs are painted in fluorescent colors- one orange, one yellow, and one pink. These colors call attention to the space between the panel and the exhibition wall. This physicality of space and theatricality of the work are issues that continue to have relevance since they were prompted by the essay Art and Objecthood. Important to note, these works must be exhibited on a crisp, clean white wall to be viewed properly. The condition of the white wall is an imperative aspect of the work.

BMW Art Cars

A link to the complete collection of BMW art cars done by renown artists including Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, and Olafur Eliasson. One day I would love the honor of creating an art car for BMW.

BMW Art Car Collection

This idea is particularly interesting to me because the dynamic of the art car changes when it is being raced. The conditions of the work then are either idle or charged. The art on the car masterly comes to life under the conditions of driving. This condition based work is something I am experimenting with in my own work. However, my conditions remain more specific to site versus kinetics.
