Collection: EVELINA KUDABAITĖ

EVELINA KUDABAITĖ IS AN OBJECT DESIGNER BASED IN VILNIUS, LITHUANIA, WHOSE PRACTICE IS ROOTED IN A DEEP FASCINATION WITH CRAFT AND MATERIALITY. SHE GRADUATED WITH A BA IN DESIGN FROM THE VILNIUS ACADEMY OF ARTS AND EXPLORES THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN CONTRASTING MATERIALS, INVESTIGATING THE TENSIONS AND HARMONIES THEY CREATE. HER CREATIVE PROCESS IS EXPERIMENTAL AND INTUITIVE, OFTEN LEADING TO UNEXPECTED FORMS THAT BALANCE THE SCULPTURAL AND THE FUNCTIONAL.

EVELINA IS CURIOUS ABOUT HOW OBJECTS AND ENVIRONMENTS MIRROR IDENTITY, HOW SURFACES REFLECT INTERNAL STRUCTURES AND TELL STORIES ABOUT THEIR MAKERS AND USERS. HER RESEARCH EXPLORES HOW MATERIALS HOLD AND TRANSMIT INFORMATION, PROMPTING REFLECTION ON THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT, OBJECT AND USER, HUMAN AND NATURE.

THROUGH A SENSITIVE AND SUBJECTIVE LENS, SHE INVITES VIEWERS TO ENGAGE WITH THESE LAYERED RELATIONSHIPS. HER WORKS HAVE BEEN EXHIBITED AT INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND ART EXHIBITIONS, GALLERIES AND EVENTS IN LONDON, PARIS, MILAN, VIENNA, STOKHOLM, SZENZHEN AND ELSEWHERE.
