CURRENT ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE: Eva Smerekanych
Eva Smerekanych is an American sculptor originally from Seattle, WA.
Her artwork explores the internal tension of identity, heartache, and existential dread. She is inspired by the strength and power of the human body as the actor through which we interact with the universe around us. Her work primarily explores the female figure through a mixture of hyperrealism and surrealism at a small scale. Eva has always had a fascination for mathematics and cosmology, and often uses concepts from higher dimensional topology to influence the visual interpretation of her work. She asks questions like “how can we visualize emotions as interactions with higher dimensional space?”
Eva attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she received a Bachelor’s of Science as a double major in Art & Design and Computer Science, with a minor in mathematics. She was awarded Cards Against Humanity’s Science Ambassador Scholarship for her original short film “Stepping into the Fourth Dimension” which used sculpture and stop-motion animation to explain higher dimensional mathematics to a broad audience. Throughout her time at MIT, Eva continued to be involved in the arts, with work featured in a group exhibition at the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Eva is currently an artist in residence at the Carole Feuerman Sculpture Foundation where she is continuing to explore hyperrealism, surrealism, and female strength in her sculptures.
