Dílna Mikulov - Art symposium

Eva Eisler


Eva Eisler (1952) is a visual artist moving freely between sculpture, design and architecture. Her work centres on spatial objects, on geometrical and constructive drawings and paintings with a conceptual background. Among the best known of her extensive design activities is her jewellery art. She began making jewellery after she settled in the United States, and after a long pause, she came back with a new set at the MAS "dílna" in 2013. In Mikulov, she also created a series of largeformat painting and graphics sheets in which she transformed the impressive interiors of the chateau halls into elegant planar sets of geometrical shapes of reduced colouring. Eva Eisler graduated from Parsons The New School for Design in New York and taught at New York University. In 2007, she became the head of the K.O.V Studio (concept–object–meaning) at Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. Her work is featured in collection of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. Besides her furniture and interior designs, she has also created installations of art and design exhibitions which she often curates. She first appeared at the MAS "dílna" in 2006, and served as the symposium’s curator in the following year.
