Eva Eun-Sil Han<\/a> is a South Korean-born collage artist \u00a0living and working in Brussels, Belgium. She has worked in a variety of styles over the years (with many exhibitions<\/a>) but I first noticed her work some years ago and found her work both original and compelling in her approach to incorporating drawing with non-digital collage.<\/p>\n

2 styles in particular really perked up my mental ears: the first, an unusual geometric approach reminiscent of crystallization, ballistic diagrams, and architectural schematics; the second, a streaming, organic flow like a dark spirit leaving one body to possess another (or the roots of a tree, or a stylized spume of blood), connecting disparate elements. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before or since, though the geometric approach is reminiscent of early Dada collage (which makes sense as Han lists the collages of Max Ernst as a major influence) and the spirit-plumes remind me somehow of anime \/ manga influences. Both are fairly early in her career so she doesn’t talk about them much, which is a shame in one sense but also leaves interpretation delightfully open.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
