Blacker-than-black

April 2023 – Visiting artists’ studios to select artworks for upcoming exhibitions and art fairs is always exciting. And visiting the studio of Polish-Dutch artist Eliza Kopec is no exception to this. All the more so because she is very versatile in her artistic expressions and regularly surprises with completely new bodies of work.

At the upcoming edition of Art Karlsruhe in Germany, Eliza’s desire to try all kinds of different techniques and materials is underlined with a selection of her latest intriguing but lesser-known artworks. For instance a new series of round wall reliefs including a blacker-than-black work, using a special matt black paint absorbing up to 99% of the visible light, making the relief itself hardly visible!
