Eva Rothschild: The Void Presses The Wall

Eva Rothschild is one of the most significant sculptors of her generation. Her visual vocabulary incorporates enduring forms of classical architecture with a clarity of intent reminiscent of 20th-century minimalist sculpture, but with a singular approach to colour, materials and site. Hers are sculptures born of the city and redolent of the urban landscape. Some of her works – cast or constructed in bronze, plaster and steel – are supported on plinths; they ‘behave’ like sculptures ‘should’. Others stretch, twist, balance, or form whole environments that the viewer must navigate.
