Eva Yeh




Eva Yeh is an award-winning German painter and sculptor. Using the simplest of means, a painter's eye and a sculptor's instinct, she transforms everyday discarded objects into an exciting human song, an intellectual message.
Her studies in Hong Kong, Paris, and Nice (diplomas) gave her a solid foundation and familiarised her with a variety of materials. Her two-dimensional, strikingly colourful paintings radiate light, creating fields between lines that often vibrate but also stabilise, a search for compositional balance, for equilibrium, for the harmony of colours, the pursuit of balance in every sense.
After years of painting, her eye for colour, contrast, and composition had become sharpened. The confining surface was gradually replaced by volume. Her multicultural background gave her the opportunity to combine different methods of thinking and seeing. Life experiences also allowed her ideas to mature. Thus, she followed the path from figurative to abstract, from multicoloured to simple colours, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.
Her artworks are full of poetic awareness, yet rigorous in spirit, full of tenderness and sensuality. Their haunting language leads to insights from the immediacy of their choice of materials.
It is astonishing what the artist is able to express through the serenity of artistic language and despite the insignificance of the material. Folded, torn, rolled, bundled, and unleashed, paper, for example, becomes an artistic gift and conveys moments full of reflection, joy, concentration, strength and desire. Eva Yeh has accomplished the miracle of remaining completely within herself and yet experiencing a transformation that is identical with what she feels, thinks, and is. The continuity and inner logic of this transformation are visible and admirable.
