Eike Eplik

1982– · Estonian artist (born 1982)
Eesti Kunsti Oksjonid; Eesti Kunstimuuseum; Kogo galerii; Tartu Kunstimuuseum

Eike Eplik (1982) is a sculptor and installation artist. She uses nature motifs for constructing narrative, utilises the gallery space from floor to ceiling, works with sculpting techniques from classic plaster casting to paper and wood assemblage and found objects. The processes in her art are partly subconscious and not always fully explainable. When preparing exhibitions Eplik relies on improvisation – to the extent material allows, of course. One of Eplik's first exhibitions, “The girl who loved everything” (2012) is inspired by the Hungarian writer Ervin Lázár's fairytale “The seven-headed fairy”. The animals in the fairytale-like created in the exhibition are cartoonish, many of them freaks, chimeras combined of multiple plants and animals, conglomerates frozen into weird compositions. The exhibition “Some of the birds flew on their backs” (2015) played around with creating compositions of portrait paintings and still lifes, emphasising the perishable and temporal nature of the subject. This existential theme was further developed with the show “Beauty salon” (2017), where the artist explored the construction of beauty and its fleeting and unnatural core. Unlike her previous exhibitions, “Natural” (2018) foregrounded a mechanical-therapeutic way of making art – the artist exhibited installations-sculptures that imitated organic and natural forms in various stages of abstraction.
