Eva Lootz presents in Walking with the River her latest creations influenced by her stay in Japan in 2019. The drawings are full of semi-automated figures that show her daily life and the environment that surrounds her.
On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Walking with the River by the artist Eva Lootz, there will be a dance performance by the dancer Alicia Narejos.
Eva Lootz was born in 1940 in Vienna, where she studied fine arts, musicology, film and philosophy. In 1967 she moved to Madrid, where she became one of the leading names in Spanish sculpture in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. His work, which includes installations and sculpture, as well as photography and video, revolves around two main themes: matter and language. Although he began working with materials such as cotton, earth or seeds, over time he incorporated a reflection on the places of extraction and the treatment of minerals and raw materials, the routes of exchange and the social and cultural effects they provoke, as well as the mark they leave on the landscape and language. Matter, ecology, territory and gender are some of the concepts that have been at the centre of her production. In 1994 she was awarded the National Prize for Fine Arts. Eva Lootz is one of the leading artists in the Suñol Soler Collection, which holds two of her works from the 1980s.
