Eva van Bemmelen is an artist and graphic designer based in The Hague. In her work, she focusses on the poetic reinvention of books and the literal characters they hold. Eva is exploring various sorts of wayfinding and guidelines. How to read a certain language? How to read a book? “I like to see a book as a three-dimensional exhibition to be walked through by the reader. With all that, I play with typography: I deconstruct it to reconstruct it again, for it to be interpreted differently.”
Eva studied graphic design at the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) in The Hague (2012–2016) and she was working for five years at Irma Boom Office (2015–2020). In 2023 she finished her Masters at ‘Werkplaats Typografie’, ArtEZ, University of Arts, Arnhem. Eva is currently part of artist initiative ‘Billytown’, The Hague and artist-run-space 'Kieken Centrale' in Antwerp.
