The sculptures of Swedish artist Eva Larsson explore societal standards and social hierarchy versus the liberation and courage of the individual. Her figurative ceramic sculptures interact as a mediation of social interaction and place the individual within the context of a greater social and historical composite.
Eva Larsson was born in Boras, Sweden, in 1964. She received her BFA from the Konstfack University of Art and Design in in 1988. Since then her life has revolved around art. An emphasis on exploratory creative practice has brought her where she is today with a plethora of international exhibitions and public art commissions. Larsson’s raku fired ceramic figures are coveted for their striking intimacy and rarity, as her process is complex and the outcome is unpredictable. Each piece is hand formed, unique, and individually pulled from kiln while glowing hot.
Eva Larsson was born in Boras, Sweden, in 1964. She received her BFA from the Konstfack University of Art and Design in 1988. She spends her winters in India sourcing the materials for her sculptures. Larsson’s raku fired ceramic figures are coveted for their striking intimacy and rarity, as her process is complex and the outcome is unpredictable. Each piece is hand formed, unique, and individually pulled from kiln while glowing hot.
Her process is informed by chance and nature over control. A complex process to master, the Japanese raku firing technique gives Larsson’s ceramic sculptures a refined, yet unpredictable surface with delicate shades of color and elegant cracks that manifest naturally within the confines of a thick, glassy glaze. Larsson’s aim is to create a reflective surface with space in between for personal reflection.
Larsson’s work consists mainly of sculptures in raku fired clay, but involve other materials as well, such as rope, stone, and metal. To give up control and accept chance and nature as collaborators in the creation of her work makes the process exciting. Seen alone or contextualized by other figures, Larsson’s sculptures capture the sensitivity of human emotion and encourage the contemplation of memory and interaction.
Her sculptural works can be found in public and private collections globally. Her public commissions can be seen in many cities in Sweden.
