Float constitutes a vast and subtle meditation on the reality of urban living.
Recognizing absence as the presence of a conscious activity within the brain, these works are a result of a meditative process that engages what is considered trash, forgotten and unwanted as a starting point to honor the decay and the beauty of things modest, humble and impermanent. Impermanence (literally, “the pathos of things”) has probably the clearest link: the works embrace the wear, tear, and sometimes damage that comes with age. They reveal the transient and mystical as well as the mundane and obvious as features change.
Eva Mitala was born in Athens. Studied painting in the Athens School of Fine Arts (2000?2005). Lives and works between Athens and Berlin. Mitala has had solo exhibitions in Athens at the Ileana Tounta Gallery, in Tokyo at the Muramatsu Gallery and at the N Room Gallery in Berlin. She has shown extensively in group exhibitions across Europe, Romania and China.
