Eva Nielsen: Aster

La Verrière - Fondation Hermès

Brussels, Belgium

Aster is curated by Joël Riff as part of his ongoing “augmented solos” program, which places the invited artist’s work in dialogue with other creative voices. Aster features a series of new canvases and centres on an ambitious triptych whose format was determined by the dimensions of the artist's studio. For Joël Riff, “these new works embrace a striking austerity, laying bare their very core.” The enigmatic canvases are punctuated by objects that encourage us to take a step back to observe the contrast between the architectural forms and the vast spaces depicted by the artist. These “images of freedom”, in the words of the exhibition’s curator, promise to interrogate and shift the ways in which we look at the landscape.

Eva Nielsen and Joël Riff have been working together for over fifteen years on several exhibitions and publications.
