Eva van Bemmelen

Eva van Bemmelen (1993) is an artist and graphic designer based in The Hague. In her work, she focusses on the poetic reinvention of books and the literal characters they hold. Eva is exploring various sorts of wayfinding and guidelines. How to read a certain language? How to read a book? “I like to see a language as a three-dimensional exhibition to be walked through by the reader. With all that, I play with typography: I deconstruct it to reconstruct it again, for it to be interpreted differently.”

Eva studied graphic design at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague (2012–2016) and worked for five years at Irma Boom Office (2015–2020). In 2023, she completed her Master’s in Fine Arts at Werkplaats Typografie, ArtEZ, Art Academy of Arnhem. Eva is currently part of the artist initiative ‘Billytown’ in The Hague and the artist-run space ‘Kieken Centrale’ in Antwerp.
