Eva De Haan
Artist
Born in England in 1992, London-based Eve De Haan is a
multidisciplinary artist specializing in text-driven neon works and
evocative spaces. Her focus on text developed out of her theology
studies, during which she realized the power of text to elicit potent,
collective emotions. Neon has allowed her to explore “how malleable
definitions of words and phrases can be.” De Haan’s works probe topics
including technology, youth culture, and relationships.
De Haan takes
inspiration from everyday experiences and resonant personal narratives.
While her work often only shares a small part of any story, she sees
every piece and environment she creates as offering a tantalizing
beginning that allows the viewer to personally relate, invest, and “to
complete the story themselves.” Storytelling, she observes, “is a way of
carrying culture.”
De Haan has exhibited both in Europe and the US
in iconic venues such as London’s Saatchi Gallery and the Museum of Neon
Art in LA. Recent highlights include leading an Instagram Live for the
Tate Modern, creating billboard art in London, and crafting neon artwork
for Nike. De Haan’s work has been included in several major
publications.
