“You had to be stupid my poor darling! » Éva Bergera's works are cries, white cries, deaf cries. It is a theme as old as (in)humanity that works the artist: the moral, physical, sexual and social violence inflicted on those who do not think right. Born in 1988 in Roanne, Éva Bergera began painting in a painter's studio at the age of 8 and then multiplied competitions in supermarkets and surrounding villages. She develops an attachment to popular culture; Claude François, television, fairgrounds and, later, for the writings of Annie Ernaux and Virginie Despentes. Since the Salon de Montrouge, the works of Éva Bergera have been noticed, bought by collectors from the ADIAF, and her work has notably been shown at major Parisian fairs (the YIA, Slick Art Fair) or within prestigious institutions such as the IAC in Villeurbanne and the Lambert Collection Museum of Contemporary Art in Avignon.

Période rose

Éva Bergera creates paintings, “spheres”, ordered, magical chaos so that the Man who looks at them is thus returned to “his part of divinity”, to his truth, to his way of being God. We have lost ourselves in a fictional world, made of luminous panels, devoid of virtue, disconnected from Nature. We sold our soul to Mr. Tax in exchange for protection and guidance. “We damage ourselves, we crush ourselves.” “We were told that we had to work for him,” it’s the race for always more; More consumption, more iPhones, more followers, more money, more physical “perfection”, more buttocks, more sex. More, more, more. Life is time. A musical note, a loop. One. 1. And you, what are you going to devote your time to? Do you remember what you're running behind? Why are you running?

Peintures

A harmony of crude words and pop colors, shocking images and pious aesthetics, Éva Bergera's work exudes impressive strength. Hell according to her is a contrast of colors both bright and soft, strewn with flowers, fruits and saints with clasped hands. We see familiar faces, Loana, Claude François, the artist herself and others only known to the police – robot portraits of criminals. Éva Bergera's aggregations have a chilling beauty, they demand that we linger in front of them to appreciate all their richness. They are lacerated with sentences: “And what’s more, this whore is nice”, “Stop! Stop, you’re tiring me out, order two pizzas and shut up,” “Are you going to cry? »… These words, Éva Bergera heard them, collected them, crushed them. And in the middle of this chaos remains laughter, humor as an essential revolt in the face of the absurd, a conception of life devoid of meaning, of center. Artist member of ADAGP

Photographie plasticienne

Éva Bergera's collage work in all its forms is ambitious, demanding and spectacular. The artist is a polymorph, a contemplative aggregator who overflows into different flows: visual photography, writing, painting, drawing, video, performance, astrology and wandering. All with a keen sense of humor but also a unique way of situating oneself in relation to contemporary societal debates (feminism, sexuality, etc.). Artist member of ADAGP

Dessins

One summer, while spending a few days of vacation in Roanne with her mother, Eva Bergera found her old catechism notebook. It is composed of texts typed by machine, in capitals on colored pink, yellow or blue sheets. They were written by his chaplain Georges Durand and certain words or groups of words are underlined or even double underlined. This strikes me. The texts of Georges Durand are important because they are in capitals. But in addition, certain words are freely over-underlined. They must be excessively important. Arbitrarily, the artist decides day after day to choose certain underlined and/or over-underlined words in order to compose poems from these words. She called this ensemble Les Corps Glorieux. These poems became a basis for a series of Jesus-sized paintings on paper. Artist member of ADAGP
