Aki Rug B X RIA ALEXANDROU

2,200 VAT excluded

This is the hand-tuffted version of AKI rug B, made in collaboration with the visual artist Ria Alexandrou.

Painting with several mediums, sketching, making tapestries or setting up installations, Ria translates the time and its impact in our memory as images or spaces to be experienced. Her practice, is informed by literary texts, sociopolitical aspects of living while commenting on the contrasting aspects of materials in relation to the space that withholds them. Currently she creates carpets and tapestries with a tufting gun, exploring it as a painting or sculptural medium. Her latest body of work, invokes sensorial memory through objects which are apparently ordinary such as carpets, by (mis)-placing and photograph them as outdoor installations, interventions in the urban space, ruins of the past and the future.

Ria Alexandrou (b.1990, Greece) is a visual artist based in Cyprus, she graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 2014, she had two solo exhibitions (2016), (2021) and presented her works in various group exhibitions in Cyprus and abroad. AKI rug B is an organic formed rug, which in combination with the elements that surround it create different shapes, as a negative space drawing on the floor. Aiming to embrace the unexpectancy of the organic, the AKI rugs is a series of flat cut-out surfaces that inspire to both frame and mark new terrains on horizontal and vertical surfaces.
