Eva Jospin

born in 1975, Paris - lives and works in Paris

Eva Jospin’s sculpture Ici is made from wood, cardboard, and various materials. The top surface, facing the ceiling, resembles a landscape or urban skyline. Its shape is mirrored by the sculpture’s bottom surface, facing the floor. The two sides respond to each other, yet never meet.
The work is inspired by Huang Gongwang’s Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, a Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) landscape painting once divided in two—one part sent to Taiwan, the other remaining in China. The two parts were briefly reunited in a 2011 exhibition in Taipei. Jospin’s sculpture reflects this story of separation and connection.
Known for creating hauntingly beautiful forests and entire worlds, Eva Jospin transforms ordinary materials into sculptures that weave together nature, people, and architecture.
