- Description of the work:
Created in 2001, Eva belongs to one of Aldo Mondino’s most famous and recognizable cycles, dedicated to the ironic reinterpretation of Western sculptural tradition. The female figure, evoked through an essential and almost sculptural sign, is enclosed between two halves of an open apple, a clear reference to the biblical myth of Eve and the theme of knowledge.
With the usual visual intelligence that characterizes his entire production, Mondino combines references to classical sculpture, to Rodin’s tradition, and to the Western symbolic imagination, transforming them into a poetic, immediate, and surprising image.
The presence of the work in the original exhibition catalog constitutes an important documentary element, confirming its provenance in the exhibition history and its inclusion within one of the artist’s most significant projects.
