Eva Rothschild
(Irish, born 1972)
Biography
Eva Rothschild is a contemporary Irish artist known for her sculptures which employ a broad range of materials. Constructed with an irregular geometry influenced by the work of Constantin Brancusi, Rothschild’s sculptures explore the relationship between materiality, Classical architecture, and New Age spiritualism. “I use segmentation a lot, building something from repeated units, so that there’s almost a suggestion that they can be taken apart,” she has explained. “In a way I never think of a piece as a unified whole. It could always come apart. In the finished product the material is still open to transformation.” Born in 1972 in Dublin, Ireland, Rothschild studied at the University of Ulster in Belfast before briefly relocating to Glasgow. The artist went on to receive her MFA from Goldsmiths in London in 1999, where she continues to live and work. Today, Rothschild’s works are held in the collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.
