An exploration of fluidity, movement and spatial abstraction:
Using acrylic on screen printing, Alexandra Roussopoulos creates artworks that project spatial abstraction with remarkable depth and vibrancy. This technique exemplifies the artist’s ongoing exploration of weightlessness and the dynamic interplay between form and environment, offering viewers a unique perspective on the relationship between structure and space.
“My painting often escapes the traditional canvas on stretcher bars to venture onto all kinds of surfaces: textile, ceramic, wall, wood, or glass… The “Flying” series was painted on old silkscreens that I hunted down. Trace, memory lies at the heart of my work. I never pre-draw a structure, but it emerges as the painting progresses in an unstable balance, it arises in the favor of a loss of reference, a leap into the void with points of support. My palette starts with primary colors which I then mix extensively to associate them with additional hues. How one color lives alongside another, modifies it, creates a balance or imbalance, that’s what interests me. I love the tension of these sharp lines, the perfect boundary that is created between two colors, and the contrast between the existing background that I have reworked and the form that stands out. A dialogue is created between the exterior and the interior, between the landscape and the abstract form, drawing a spatial and temporal journey, that of the flying carpet, a symbol of takeoff and travel. “
-Alexandra Roussopoulos
At the heart of the “Flying” series lies a flowing geometric shape, composed of smooth, interconnected planes of color. The palette spans from delicate shades of soft blues, creams, and grays to the bold depths of navy and turquoise. This central form seems to twist and unfold within its surroundings, evoking a powerful sense of movement and flight.
The interplay of angular lines and gentle curves imbues the composition with dynamic energy, as though the shape is perpetually shifting mid-air, capturing the viewer’s imagination in its ethereal dance.
