Tara-Eva Kuijpers Wentink (°1996, Amsterdam, NL) has achieved her Bachelor’s in Fine arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, with an exchange program at Pratt Institute NYC. She completed her Master’s in Sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Her practice revolves around an exploration of abstracted and a-morph shapes that refer to the physicality of the inside of the human body and its tissues. In her sculptural installations, Tara-Eva shows a translation of a growing, expanding organism that influences the atmosphere in the room and welcomes the viewer to step into a glimpse of another world. The colors used in the installations emphasize a fleshy softness. This soft appearance is explored in the use of different materials and tactility.
