Eva Bodo
Eva Bodo concluded her master's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava in June 2022. Although her primary discipline is abstract painting, her work predominantly encompasses intermedial and processual elements. Alongside painting, she works with photography, drawing, and digital media, including GIFs and NFTs. In 2023, she participated in multiple solo and group exhibitions, including a large-format painting exhibition at CIN CIN Gallery, an exploration of the intersection between painting and photography at the Central European House of Photography—both in Bratislava—and a group exhibition of abstract painting where she was a finalist among 18 selected international artists at the YICCA Art Prize in Venice, Italy.
Through an intermedial and interdisciplinary artistic approach, Bodo analyzes distinctive challenges, such as the personal and often intimate aspects of artistic inquiry. She engages with public white spaces, neglected sites within the city and its outskirts, and artifacts found along the Danube River, examining relationships between art and reality—how intricate, diverse, or, in contrast, simple and uniform they can be. In an urbanized context, white spaces refer to open, unoccupied areas situated between two buildings or vacant spaces devoid of purpose between two or more autonomous entities lacking interconnection. These locations are neglected, vacant, inoperative, and poised for future utilization.
Bodo aims to highlight these spaces by reflecting reality through ephemeral interventions, in which art imitates, interprets, and transforms the visual reality of urban white spaces and their structures. She employs multiple media, including photography, drawing, painting, and digital art. Her work explores both factual and fictional perspectives, blending objective and subjective experiences, scientific and art-based research methodologies to produce artistic evidence and convey results. Additionally, she challenges herself to develop sustainable, eco-friendly, immersive artistic solutions that prioritize environmental conservation while fostering social engagement through art.
