Opening Reception: Saturday, July 13, 2019, 2-4 PM
Vicky Christou’s abstract grid paintings are inspired by the dualistic and eternal processes found within oceanic waves, densely forested landscapes and expansive changing skies.
Her meditative, ritualistic application of paint depicts a physical record of time, resulting in the experience of an encompassing peaceful stillness. Christou often uses a minimal color palette, adding to the sculptural effect of her grid paintings. Her more colorful works often become directional, dependant on where the veiwer is standing, offering a playful interactive optical element.
Christou has expanded her accumulative impasto line painting technique, to include brushwork and washes. She continues her focused exploration of paint materiality with a foundational reference to textiles.
