Aprašymas

A monograph on the leading contemporary visual artist of the 21st century.

Brought together under the single title Matière-Lumière, Evi Keller's work blends painting, sculpture, photography, and performance. Her pictorial work consists of a painstaking process of layering transparent films, enriched with pigments and minerals, which are then calcined or partially destroyed. From this layering emerge vibrant surfaces where water, earth, fire, and air intertwine to reveal organic forms, oscillating between the inert and the living.

For Evi Keller, light is not merely an optical phenomenon; it is an active force that permeates and transforms matter. Her art reflects a singular vision in which sky and earth no longer oppose one another but resonate, giving shape to a world where the infinitely vast finally seems graspable. The artist does not seek to represent, but to evoke an experience by revealing what would otherwise remain imperceptible. Her canvases come into being through the viewer's relationship with a constantly shifting material.

Richly illustrated and enriched by contributions from several academics, art historians, and philosophers, this monograph offers an in-depth journey through the stages of a creative process, extending far beyond the aesthetic realm. Evi Keller's art engages the body, unsettles the senses, and invites us to reconsider our relationship to time, space, and matter.
