Anastasia Pavlou

Anastasia Pavlou's practice incorporates painting, photography and drawing to address the moment where visual perception occurs, emphasising the significance of space and context in shaping the experience of seeing. Pavlou’s abstract painting explores the inherent potential of the flat surface while delving into the relationship between two-dimensionality and the volumetric presence of canvases in space. Engaging with textures and nuances, from fast to slow, heavy to light, and transparent to opaque, the resulting artworks focus on the materiality of an expansive pictorial space. Her photographic ensembles highlight the meticulous, however somehow accidental, organisation of images, matter and surfaces which is at the chore of a production continuously probing how one can decipher the present through the remnants of everyday life, through the nearby and the mundane. Anastasia Pavlou was born in 1993 in Athens, Greece and lives and works between Basel, Switzerland and Athens, Greece. Her works have been exhibited at the Kunstmuseum, Appenzell, CH; at Harmony 100, Basel, CH; at Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel, CH; at Hot Wheels, London, UK and Athens, GR; at Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, CH; at the Benaki Museum, Athens, GR, among others.
