The artwork, titled “Exile,” was created by the artist EVA in the year 2016. Rendered in clay using mixed techniques, the piece falls within the Contemporary and Conceptual Art movements, specifically categorized as abstract art. “Exile” is part of the “Edem” series.
In “Exile,” the convergence of abstract forms and textures elicits a sense of dislocation and introspection. The artwork is marked by its intricate surface details, with an array of turbulent, organic shapes that seem to emerge from the clay base. The left segment of the composition exhibits a complex, multi-layered structure with hues of purple, white, and teal, evoking a sense of depth and tumult. The right segment presents a more fragmented form, with an almost anthropomorphic appearance, highlighted by intense red and blue hues, suggesting distress or transformation. The use of mixed techniques gives both segments a dynamic, almost fluid quality, blending elements of chaos and order to encapsulate the theme of exile.
