ART-REVIEW:Anna-Eva Bergman

The works by Anna Eva Bergman  that are on presentation at exhibition “Les Univers d’ Anna- Eva Bergman” at Galerie Jérôme Poggi, are between heaven and earth, is one of the projects that touched me deeply because the Norwegian artist approaches the edges of abstraction without ever leaving a relationship with the actual consubstantial, but from the ultimate minimalism. The artist created at the space of the Jerome Poggi Gallery, a completely meditative path that is like a double-edged sword, since other viewers can be really exited and some others might be veering off the subject; but it’s definitely a very strong exhibition of a very important artist, which through her unique monochromatic landscape paintings is connecting the sky and the moon and  opens up a great inner-endoscopic and philosophical discussion. This particular exhibition brought together a rare collection of celestial paintings made by Anna- Eva Bergman throughout her life, in comparison  with an exceptional series of drawings created in the 1930s to illustrate a culinary work that the artist  wrote, at the age of 20 years and for many years and  she could not find a publisher. Eighty years later, the Hartung-Bergman Foundation had the honor of publishing “Casseroles, recipes from around the world”, In the exhibition these small-scale drawings co-existed in the space of the gallery in perfect harmony with the artist’s other works.-Efi Michalarou
