Irene Kopelman (born 1974, Córdoba, Argentina) is an Argentine-Dutch artist based in Amsterdam. Her works explore the relationship between science and art.
Works
Kopelman's work marries the clinical distance of scientific observation with an almost spiritual reverence for landscape and the objects, large and small, that comprise it. It is built on the long-term engagement with ecological issues and the parallels between both science and art. The subject matter is a close visual engagement, questioning and exploring how drawing can approach these topics. Her work forms knowledge through the image and the process to make the image about the environment. They also embody the methodologies and systems we use to generate the knowledge and make it visible, creating her own systems of representation through artworks.
Awards
Kopelman won first prize in the 2016–2017 Medifé Arte y Medioambiente Foundation Biennial for her project, "Drawing Camp".
