Eva Ullrich

Eva Ullrich is a landscape painter whose work leans towards abstraction. Her works are bold and confident yet emit an almost transcendental feeling of lightness and air, conveying form through delicate edges and tone.

She draws inspiration from research trips to wild places including arctic Norway, Iceland and Scotland. By using this experience of landscape as a starting point, Eva’s studio practice engages with the physical, experimenting with diverse and dynamic mark making. Layers of paint accumulate and translate into images referencing features in nature. The visual information is pared down to a minimum, allowing the work to breathe; fluid and expansive. Her paintings offer a fleeting snapshot of the dynamic process of painting, which can be likened to the fragility of the rapidly disappearing landscapes that they represent.

Eva studied painting at The Glasgow School of Art, and has more recently spent six years living and working in Bristol. She is now based in the Lake District and continues to exhibit internationally.
