ΕVA ANERRAPSI
Visual arts
Eva Anerrapsi (b. 1992) is a visual artist and graphic designer from Athens. She studied graphic design at Vakalo Art & Design College and visual arts at the Athens School οf Fine Arts. Using both analogue and digital media, she seeks to describe the qualities, textures and visual relationships resulting from individual gestures. A key concern of her practice is to offer an exploration of contemporary erotic speech. Through photographic recordings, poetic writings, mixed-media drawings and narrative films, she attempts to capture lyrical landscapes which create abstract, associative narratives and explore the limits between the written word and the conditions under which it came to be. The image and the narrative are at times in harmony, at others in dissonance with each other, therefore staging a conversation reminiscent of the contrast between the non-regulated dreaminess of erotic expectation and the tangible randomness of everyday reality. In her practice, the parallel exploration of the digital and the analogue, the visible and the non-visible, the casual and the intentional, provide the means to reflect on current aesthetics and on the shifting means of communication. In June 2022, she held her first solo exhibition at Closing Soon, an artist-run space in Athens. She has participated in exhibitions in Greece, and her work has been featured in publications, photographic albums and film festivals in Europe and New York. She has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS in 2022.
