(acrylic and gouache on wood, automotive paint, paper, found objects)
Excerpt from press release:
“In Parts and Wholes, Partheniou explores principles of Gestalt and the inexactitude that derives from the tendency to organize and make sense of incomplete elements. Playing games of association, she presents an installation of minimal object paintings that read like fragments of something seen. An exercise in visual semiotics and physical mondegreen, the accumulation of masses and voids, shape and colour function like a set of visual puzzles, coming together in a constellation of objects to be read and mis-read.”
