Eva van Bemmelen

Eva van Bemmelen is an artist with a background in graphic design. 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 in Fine Arts at the ‘Werkplaats Typografie’, ArtEZ, University of Arts in Arnhem. See this link for projects Eva is working on.
