The word « Truism » comes from the novel of Marie Darrieusecq whose heroine turns into a sow, it echoes with “Les petits cochons 2019”. I used my own face which I superimposed on portraits of women, then I mixed it with a portrait of a man from a previous painting “The fatigue of being oneself 3” to recreate this strange face in the colors of a pink and blue candy as to describe the ambivalence of a humanity that is preparing to face the Apocalypse. “The portrait looks like a tear. This painting has a striking accuracy and a rare elevation. This mixture of infinite sweetness and cruelty of the subject is one of the characteristics of Éva Bergera’s work to which I do not remain insensitive.” Catherine Duparc, critic, curator and collector, member of the Carré sur Seine jury.

“You had to be stupid my poor darling! » The works of Éva Bergera are cries, white cries, deaf cries. It is a theme as old as (in)humanity that works the artist: the moral, physical, sexual and social violence inflicted on those who do not think right. A harmony of raw words and pop colors, shocking images and pious aesthetics, the work exudes an impressive force. Hell according to her is a contrast of colors both bright and soft, strewn with flowers, fruits and saints with joined hands. We see familiar faces, Loana, Claude François, the artist herself and others only known to the police – robot portraits of criminals. Eva Bergera's collages have the chilling beauty of Rogier Van Den Weyden's Last Judgment. Like the masterpiece of the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune, they demand that we linger in front of them to appreciate all their power, the richness of the details. They are lacerated with sentences: "And what's more, this whore is nice", "Stop! Stop you tire me, order two pizzas and shut your mouth”, “Are you going to cry? “… These words, Eva Bergera heard them, collected, triturated, some were intended for her. And in the middle of this mess remains laughter, humor as an indispensable revolt against the absurd, against a conception of life devoid of meaning, of center. There will always be death at the end, so go find something to do!
