The objects by Eva Dijkstra (NL, 1974) have a minimalistic appearance thanks to the geometric, sleek-looking shapes. One can easily recognize her professional graphic practice in this. The works of art are not large and appear playful and light, but they do have a certain monumentality in them. Their hard core is made of MDF, which is tightly covered with canvas and painted in one or more monochrome, bright colours.
Each work finds its origin in specific data, such as the 'World Happiness Index' or the global temperature rise. Dijkstra dissects and translates these figures into carefully crafted diagrams, which are then translated into the objects. Her titles can be read as a coding for the underlying information. For example, 'D19.F1, $ ;-) Japan' means: Diagram 19 Figure 1, money-luck balance in Japan.
We can also ignore the title and just look at the exciting play of shape and colour. Then you will be seduced by the works, each individually autonomous and present without being obtrusive. Once noticed, you will keep them on your mind for a long time.
