Eva Hendriks
Eva Hendriks is a Dutch artist living in Nijmegen. Eva creates large wall works that one wants to touch. Tactile works that arise from her curiosity about the typical properties of natural materials.
In her works Eva uses raw materials she knows from construction, the world that surrounded her when she once started as a property developer. Now, materials that normally serve as raw materials take a leading role. Plaster, wood, steel and sand come to life in elegant works that express both strength and fragility.
Not afraid to make mistakes, she experiments with techniques she acquired during her many years abroad. In metropolises like Shanghai and Bangkok, she discovered how to find peace by focusing on details. These experiences have made her a strong observer. One recognizes this quality in her work. She shows us the essence of materials in minimalist artworks that interact with their surroundings. One keeps looking because there is always movement, due to changes in light and in one’s perception. Panta Rhei – Eva demonstrates how everything is and remains in motion.
