Helen Kyrkilis
Through curiosity and constant experimentation, with influences from Arte Povera, Dada and even Pop Art, Helen Kyrkilis examines what is beyond the given meaning of things.
Using random and unorthodox materials that talk not only operatively but also artfully, she focuses on juxtaposing their relationships with humor and imagination. The color palette, the schematic fit or even the conversation of materials creates the visual stimulus that makes the project components interact, resulting in their conceptual and formal integration.
At the same time, a core element of her work is the process of collecting; a choice conscious and yet unconscious, sometimes intuitively and sometimes synergistically undertaken. Readymade objects that change shape and identity according to their placement and as if they were pieces of a puzzle, create a visual riddle that seeks to be solved. It is this lively combination of images and meanings that is summarized as “modern baroque”.
