The edition series Design - Profiles - Key Figures presents Czech artists who have made a major contribution to modern design and the decorative arts.
Eva Eisler has earned her international renown for her art jewellery. If just one characteristic were used to describe her work it would be architectural quality. Her art jewellery pieces are like architectural visions, designs that unfold through space While Eva Eisler’s realisations in the fields of interior and exhibition design, and fine art gradually gained importance from the 1990s, her first public presentations had already taken place in the early seventies in Czechoslovakia. Her mature creative output is connected with her life in the United States, where the artist moved to in 1983, together with her life partner, architect John Eisler. From 2000, both are also working again in the Czech Republic.
Emphasis is placed on her jewellery design of the second half of the seventies and the eighties when Eva Eisler formulated the fundamental stylistic and formal concepts of her artwork. In the United States, the artist is regarded as a representative of European art jewellery traditions, while in the Czech Republic she is perceived as a messenger of the American artistic approach. However, what matters more than the provenance of her creations is their superb quality and distinctive originality.
Texts in English and Czech.
