Eva Armisén: A Phenomenon in South Korea
3Cat visits Eva Armisén ahead of her return to South Korea
Catalan broadcaster 3Cat profiles Eva Armisén and the remarkable connection her work has developed with audiences in South Korea. From her Barcelona studio, the Spanish artist reflects on an international journey that has made her one of the most recognized contemporary artists in the country.
Eva Armisén first traveled to South Korea sixteen years before this 3Cat report, beginning a relationship with the country that would become a defining part of her international career.
In the interview, Armisén describes the connection with Korean audiences as immediate and deeply emotional. Viewers have often told her that her paintings reconnect them with childhood and with simple experiences that can be difficult to make time for in everyday life.
The report was produced as the artist prepared to return to South Korea for another exhibition, while also looking ahead to a major presentation of her work in Barcelona.
