“Painting is a magical process of letting go” Eva Helene Pade

"People ask, 'How do you know it's finished? You can always add another colour. But at some point it stops being interesting...For me, it starts with free, unfiltered, wet brush strokes, dripping paint. Then I mould and balance it. I often leave pieces, pretending they're not finished for months, turn them around, and if they're still alive when I see them again, then they're done." Eva Helene Pade A conversation about art and life.

‘Painting is a bit like when you try to capture your dreams’ – Eva Helene Pade

In her first U.K. solo exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac, Eva Helene Pade transforms painting into a choreographed cosmos of smoke, light, and collective emotion. By Ana Novi.

Hauntingly beautiful… revelatory: these are the adjectives that come to mind when staring at Eva Helene Pade’s paintings. Amorphous bodies move across the canvas like a choreography of spectral dancers... t’s a spectacle of erotic energy, where the power of attraction and seduction of the femme fatale finds its stage, manifesting through moody, dramatic atmospheres shaped by color sensations and instinctive emotional reactions.

Eva Helene Pade pays close attention to the female figure. The rising Danish painter grounds her nude figures in scenes animated by a luminous palette. Subtle tonal modulation and deep shadows draw intimate clusters of characters into focus against a softly diffused atmosphere. by Sadaf Padder.
