Eve Arnold’s remarkable work with metals features powerful, minimalist-inspired geometric configurations of symbolic significance, as well as the swirling, delicate lines of flora that exude distinct elegance and are truly enchanting. Crafting her images with large sheets of aluminum or copper, Arnold creates variations in tone and texture by etching and distressing the metal in contrast to smooth, uniform areas before adding finishing elements of 24-carat gold leaf. The synergy between light and metal seemingly lifts the design from the planar surface in a dazzling display of dimensionality. Arnold’s artwork is positively breathtaking; her beautiful sense of composition, her confident, unwavering hand and unique choice of medium augments her significance in the world of fine art.
Born in Germany, Arnold relocated to Australia to explore the vibrant arts culture of Sydney and Perth. She studied Fine Art at Claremont School of Art and Western Australian School of Art, Design and Media. Her works have been shown at exhibitions throughout Australia, Germany, and Italy, and she has recently acquired representation in New York. Arnold lives and works in Perth, Western Australia.
