何琛瑶

Eva Chenyao He, born in 2001 in Shenzhen, China, currently lives in New York, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in fine arts at The Cooper Union in the United States, with an exchange program at Gerrit Rietveld Academie in the Netherlands. Her works have been exhibited in the United States, China, South Korea, Italy, the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. Her practice includes but is not limited to sculpture, installations, performance art, moving images, and mixed media.

Eva Chenyao He’s work explores the temporality and eternity of the subject, the fusion of life and non-life, and the interplay between the organic and inorganic. Drawing upon the thread of human desire, she creates a liminal space between material and immaterial, using intangible and formless materials to express a sense of independence and inaccessibility. She expands the human condition through abstract metaphors into a broader dialogue between individuals and their surroundings, highlighting vulnerability, fluidity, and autonomy. Rooted in reflections on time, desire, and existence, her practice is permeated by a sense of unease and yearning. Amid fragility and the unreachable, she seeks the possibility of connection and solace, guiding viewers into a space of poetic contemplation and introspection.

何琛瑶，2001年出生于中国深圳，目前生活和工作于纽约，就读于美国库伯联盟学院纯艺专业，曾在荷兰里特维尔德学院交换学习。 作品曾在美国、中国、韩国、意大利、荷兰、法国、英国等国家展出。其创作包括但不限于雕塑、装置艺术、行为艺术、动态影像和混合媒介。

何琛瑶的作品探讨主体的瞬间性与永恒性、生命与非生命、有机与无机的融合。她以人类的欲望为线索，创造出一个介于物质与非物质之间的空间，通过无形、无固定形态的材料，表达一种独立且无法抵达的感受。

通过抽象隐喻，将人的境况延展到更广泛的人与空间的交融与冲突，体现个体的脆弱性、流动性与自主性。

通过对时间、欲望和生命的反思，不安和渴求贯穿她的艺术实践。在脆弱与不可触及中，探索连接和抚慰的可能性，引导观众进入诗意与沉思。
