Art Seen is pleased to present new works by four visionary women artists—Marina Genadieva (GR), Amy Stephens (UK), Vicky Pericleous (CY), and Vassia Adamou Vanezi (CY)—to shape a compelling narrative about contemporary Cyprus. Through diverse mediums, including drawing, sculpture, concrete poetry, and ceramics, the works critically engage with the island’s socio-political realities, cultural conventions, and the Buffer Zone’s contested space. These thought-provoking pieces challenge perceptions, celebrate the interplay of identity and landscape, and inspire fresh conversations about time, place, and belonging. A polyphony of voices converges to reimagine the Cypriot experience through innovative artistic lenses. | Description: | Participation with: From the series Studies for a Place (2020 - ongoing): Proposal XIV, 2025, Vicky Pericleous The work is the result of a series of visual gestures, processes, and performativities, as an exploratory study of the visual and cognitive elasticities of the image itself. 'Pericleous, as part of her artistic practice and research, uses archival material from her personal collection: images from public archives and documentations from occurrences in space, which reconstructs into new fluid geographies. She approaches these archives as "accumulations of diaries and encounters.. ' extract from curatorial text Studies for a Place Proposition X, Vicky Pericleous 2024, Vicky Pericleous From the Series: Studies for a Place, Proposition X, 2024, Vicky Pericleous, ceramic, fossils, semi-precious stones, industrial tiles, 102 x 61 x 8 cm. With special thanks to Vassos Demetriou for his invaluable support. The sculptural installation/assemblage moves from abstraction to representation, bringing forth, modernist aesthetics, while being embedded, with the fragilities of its materiality (that of clay) and the painstaking processes of ceramics. Its materiality underline, both, the wide usage of clay in the wider region of the Mediterranean and the Levant from the ancient period to now, imbuing the work with the slow meditative handcrafting gestures of ceramics. These gestures form a subversive mechanism, a visual rupture within the language of Modernism, opening the space to rethink the politics of these cultural formations. The sculpture is reconfigured in α spatial composition, along with semi-precious stones –fragments from different topographies-, and industrial tiles. Its making echoes on practices of archaeology and ritual, while evoking new risings of mythologies of both places and entities. The work stands as a- subversive- ecosystem of alterations from hierarchical narratives and forms an-other crossbreed body and site for other possible cultural risings and- constant- becomings. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/35876 | Rights: | @vickypericleous @artseen.com | Type: | Event | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology VIMA ART FAIR Art Seen Gallery, Nicosia |
