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.” 

upcoming exhibitions : sculpturegarden DE TWELF2, Hemiksem: until 20 september 2026. Galerijke marijke, Antwerp: until July 4th. Unfair, Amsterdam: 17-20 september 2026. Solo at gallery EENWERK, Amsterdam: April 2027

TEMP projectspace: 'Phonemes (pt.1)' brings together the works of three female artists (Eva van Bemmelen, Maria Paris Borda and Elise El Yousfi) working with and around language. A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language. Tiny blocks that, when combined, they create meaning. Through painting, sculpture, installation, poetry and moving image each of the artists translates their personal experiences into a rhythm or feeling that resonates beyond the self.
