Eva Rothschild

An Artistic Eye

Through her diverse use of materials and sculptural formats, Eva Rothschild constructs a sculptural and immersive environment that allows the public to be both viewer and participant. One of the leading sculptors of her generation, her work demonstrates a great awareness of the modernist tradition while maintaining its own distinctive sculptural language. Her works also engage with objects from her the surrounding urban environment that she lives and works in, and the eternal forms of geometry and classicism. Her sense of materials, scale, monumentality, colour and line reflect a refined aesthetic sensibility that redeploys and subverts familiar sculptural formats.
