Eva Jospin is a French sculptor celebrated for her immersive forest and architectural landscapes crafted from unexpected materials, most notably cardboard. Over the past fifteen years, she has developed a distinctive practice that transforms humble substrates into elaborate bas-reliefs and monumental installations evoking wooded groves, Baroque gardens, rocaille grottoes, and fantastical architectures. By using cardboard—wood’s industrial afterlife—Jospin underscores the tension between material fragility and the enduring human impulse to reimagine nature.

A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Jospin was awarded the Prix de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts in 2015 and held a residency at the Villa Medici in Rome in 2017. She was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 2024. Her work has been featured in major exhibitions worldwide, including Inside (Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2014), Sous-Bois (Palazzo dei Diamanti, Ferrara, 2018), Among the Trees (Hayward Gallery, London, 2020), Paper Tales (Het Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch, 2021), Galleria (Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris, 2021), and Palazzo (Palais des Papes, Avignon, 2023). In 2024, she presented Selva at the Museo Fortuny in Venice during the 60th Venice Biennale and Eva Jospin–Versailles at the Orangerie of the Château de Versailles.

Jospin has also created high-profile commissions, including Panorama (Cour Carrée du Louvre, 2016), Cénotaphe (Abbaye de Montmajour, 2020), and embroidered panels for Dior’s Haute Couture 2021–22 show (Chambre de Soie). Permanent works include Folie (Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2015), La Traversée (Beaupassage, Paris, 2018), Le Passage (Nantes, 2019), and Microclima (Max Mara, Milan, 2022).
