About the Artist
Born 1971 Athens, Greece
Lives and works in Richmond, KY, U.S.A.
Nayia Frangouli’s work explores the relationship between architecture, construction of an urban space, and its aesthetic representations. Her sketches, pictures, drawings, videos and installations develop a deep reflection on architectural structures and city planning, as well as an analysis of the individual and sociological processes they involve. Through her sets of drawings, video projections and direct interventions on the space of galleries, she investigates how the modernist ambition of creating rational structures, high technologies and networked configurations manages to coexist with natural landscapes. The diversity of her media expresses the multiplicity of interrelations resulting from this cultural and urban administration of cityscape, from harmony and interaction to strong antagonism.
