Eve Whitaker – Statement

( bio / statement / work )

Art can and should be aesthetically interesting to the eye, but it should do more than provide us with kitschy jokes by also providing a deeper definition of what this generation has meant to the world. I believe artists have a moral obligation to think about and reflect what they know beyond themselves. And, although visually theoretical work has given us new ways to look at the world, my own work can never linger in abstractions and always arrives back around to the human figure and it’s complicated relationships.
