Artist
Eva Brá Barkardóttir
Eva Brá Barkardóttir is an Icelandic artist based in London. She holds a BA in Fashion Design from the Iceland Academy of the Arts (2012) and an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art (2021), and is a 2020 recipient of the Chelsea Arts Club Trust grant. Drawing inspiration from folkloric narratives, mythology and science, she explores the delicate balance between structure and chaos, transforming failure into rituals of rebirth.
Her practice is rooted in a fascination with how nature functions and the interconnectedness of all things, searching for patterns hidden beyond the visible and probing the boundaries of human perception. Found materials and dead-stock textiles are endlessly reworked and reused, and with a background in fashion design, textiles and drapery are central to work that moves between painting, performance, photography and sculpture, engaging a discourse around the feminine and the construction of female identity.
Eva Brá Barkardóttir is the co-founder of In-house Art and Elm and the founder of Anddyri Reykjavík, and a member of the collective Seed 2065. Her work has been acquired by private collectors in England, Iceland and Germany, and was included in the Bow Arts 30th anniversary exhibition at the Nunnery Gallery, London.
