Eva Brandl studied scenography and acting, and received a BA in visual art from Laval University (1971-1974) and a MFA in visual art from Concordia University (1974-1976). She teaches at Concordia University and at Marianopolis College in Montreal. Her installation work is concerned with the use of space and has been presented in many galleries and museums in particular at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal in 1987. Marked by rigour, sobriety and austerity, her work put the emphasis on form, often suggesting improbable analogies and showing the sensual truth of the materials. One detects a formal interest in theatricality and in architecture (particularly in its approach to human aspirations of continuity). It is a matter here of human existence, of the boundaries of the real world and a desire to surpass them in order to attain a deep understanding of things.
