Evi Vingerling (b. 1979) is a painter born in Gouda, the Netherlands. She currently lives and works in Eindhoven and Amsterdam.

Artistic Style
Evi Vingerling is best known for a painting style that bridges landscape art with abstraction. She depicts natural phenomena, such as plants or mountains, in a way that bears little resemblance to the objects' literal appearances. She reduces her subjects to a pure, minimal state, informed by their physical underlying structures and patterns. In her own words, she "rids the object of its symbolic and historic meaning."

Her paintings are usually clear and bright. She often paints with only two colors, one serving as the background and one as the foreground. She works with gouache or oil on canvas, with minimal brushstrokes or gestures.

Education and Critical Reception
Evi Vingerling attended the Royal Academy of Art, where she earned her BFA in 2002. In 2005, she was a resident at Rijksacademie Amsterdam.

Her work has been widely shown within the Netherlands and abroad. http://www.wiels.org/en/exhibitions/520/Evi-Vingerling
