About EVA STENSLAND

Painter/ Mixed Media Artist

Born In New York, and returning to the big apple from native Norway in late teens. Studied Silk Screen at School of Visual Arts, experimenting with materials like nylon stockings and gauze, as well as chemicals found in local drugstore…. Built large collages, and series. Participated in SVA shows, plus a unique Asian owned gallery in Soho; also selected to participate in the National Annual Graphic Art Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.

Mid 80s: Participated in international and inter-disciplinary installation called DPT 2 (The Poetic Theater) at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Norway, consisting of artists of numerous disciplines: architecture, dance, music, sculpture, performance, film- where she represented film and performance art. The concept was visual representation of “state of Oslo”. The opening covered my media; taking place in the dark, little lights dotting over a low cement wall representing the level of enlightenment…. Then  “too-too” dressed ballerinas danced in the almost total darkness to the drum music of a Dutch punk artist…Eva’s contribution: film in super high light sensitivity 16mm film, Dutch punk artist ecstatic naked dance about state of sexuality (porn) in Oslo: a white room, porn images plastered up on the walls,… Visually unusual, sensual, intimate, intense. The last day of the show: “deconstruction”, Eva spray painted body in silver, dancing as the ghost/ spirit of hope, everything else removed.

80s/90s: Attended San Francisco State at the Inter-disciplinary Art Department, for a degree in art/film. Performed with a group called Lethal Gospel, as well as own performances and installations. Did a film “Tech God” in collab with the owner of the Dream Theatre in SF, a poetic journey to a more profound reality. Exhibited sculptural work within the college grounds. Worked with textiles, and transparent latex multicolored relief sculpture.
