WHAT'S ON
Intertwist
London-based artist and designer Kira Phoenix K’inan brings together fine art and craft through her glass sculptures, works on paper and multi-exposure photography in her solo exhibition at The Hellenic Centre, INTERTWIST.
INTERTWIST explores the theme of twisting lines and forms together creating works that are in a constant visual flux. Taking inspiration from practitioners of the Futurism art movement, especially painters Kurt Schwitters and Umberto Boccioni, Kira uses line and colour to create dynamic movement that keeps the viewer’s eye tracking its course.
“Drawings are my way to tell stories and are inspired by my ever-changing surroundings, which are made physical through each line that interconnects with another. Each drawing is an abstracted vision and each work grows out of the one before in intricacy, depth, colour and rhythm.”
