Biography

[edit]

Eva Margot Roux (born Johansen) was born on January 10, 1944, and grew up in a working family in Mosby, a small town ten kilometers north of Kristiansand in Norway. Very early on she revealed the gifts of designer and storyteller. A few years later, she followed a course in drawing by correspondence (NKS, Norwegian course in correspondence), and followed courses in painting with the painter Arne Solheim in Kristiansand. She left for Paris in January 1966 until 1970. Works like "Le Grand Fossard"[1] or "Une église"[2] testify to her stay in France. She returned to settle in Mosby in 1971 where she devoted herself exclusively to her painting, and inaugurated her active career from 1977 by exhibiting regularly at Kristiansand. Eva joined the world of young "non-established" artists with whom she set up a group called "Cinq" and held several exhibitions from 1982 to 1985. Eva Margot multiplied individual or group exhibitions and produced hundreds of works up to on its last day, September 7, 2019. Eva Margot attended and collaborated with several Norwegian artists such as Wigo Aadnevik who supported her in her artistic project. He made a portrait of her in 19673. Between 1982 and 1985 she notably collaborated with the artists Sissel Stangenes and Alf Solbakken. She had friendly relations with artists like Ingrid Lønnou and Else Marie Jakobsen.

Work

[edit]

Her style ranges from a delicate, sometimes childish lyricism to a brutal tragic, passing from an expressive symbolism to unusual or abstract perspectives. Her painting, of traditional invoice, contains strong colors and a rich light. Thus, sensitive and attentive to those around her from childhood and later to the events of her time, if Eva Margot often staged men and women, their reciprocal relationships and the relationship with nature, she always took great care, down to the smallest details, the aesthetic side of each painting.
