Eva Nielsen explores the boundaries between photography, screen printing, and painting. Her works, composed of image fragments and an assemblage of diverse materials, unfold across a wide range of supports such as oil, silk, and organza. Winner of the 2025 Bullukian – Fontevraud Residency, Eva Nielsen conceived Alluvion following a road trip. The exhibition takes the form of an artistic and spiritual odyssey along the banks of the Loire and the Rhône rivers.
Eva Nielsen’s productions abound with these mysterious panoramas, with impenetrable passages where reality seems to disintegrate only to reconstruct itself in sedimented reliefs with sandy textures, like imprints of geological time. Painting becomes permeated with fine residual particles that settle and slowly dissolve onto photographic paper, canvas, and veil. These minute traces—patient yet active—surface and are translated by the artist into compositions of intense yet fleeting colors.
Invited by Le MAT, Eva Nielsen has conceived a new iteration of Alluvion for the Chapelle des Ursulines.
