06/01/09 The photographer Eva Kalpadaki joins ArtLab
We saw the work by Eva on this year Bloomberg New Contemporaries in Liverpool, where she was invited to show her works amongst other 50 young artists from UK arts schools. Originally from Crete, Greece, artists lives and works in London, having completed PhD in Arts and Communication at University College for the Creative Arts, Maidstone. She also has the degree in photography from Technological Educational Institute in Athens. Her photographic series entitled ‘Empty Space' was presented in Liverpool during the Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Arts and was completed in the context of artist's PhD Research. This series explores the boundaries between the space and architectural design and with its notion of minimalism appeared as very original work among the other young artists in Bloomberg show.
The artist explains:
‘The photographs negotiate an abstract space of emptiness as a potential space of abstraction between a psychic space of subjective projection and an objective material space of aesthetic contemplation. This exploration draws mainly upon Donald Winnicott's psychoanalytic ideas of transitional phenomena in an intermediate area of experience between the internal and external reality. Within this area - the potential space, creativity originates as a zone of fictive play and free mentation that facilitates the subject's journey from ‘what is subjectively conceived of' to ‘what is objectively perceived' throughout his/her development towards adaptation in the reality world.'
Giclée prints on Verona Fine Art Paper are now available for sale and loan through ArtLab.
