Angela Liosi is a multimedia artist using sculptural gestures, on site installations and drawings as her main media in order to explore the intersection of landscape, nature, and the unseen. Her focus lies on that which is hidden, unknown and uncanny, on that which willfully remains mysterious and mythic, longing to trace the unintelligible and along, the transformative process objects, human, non-human and other entities have been through. Surrounded by an expanse of water, the sea flows through the majority of her works and has long been a thematic preoccupation for Liosi. On her effort to connect two worlds she creates dioramas, a fusion of real places and dreamt up locations. In this process that the artist refers to as “ceremonial” Liosi creates works that serve as a bridge between the physical and metaphysical realms.
She lives and works between Athens and Iraklia and is a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including: Stoa1, Athens (2024), East Beat, curated by Nadja Argyropoulou & The Callas, Thermisia (2024) Big Portion Small Plate, Stoa Kairi, Athens (2023), Depth in Shallow Waters, Iraklia (2023), I Can See Your House From Here, Haus N Athen off-site, Athens (2022), Evil, curated by Jannis Varelas at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012), We Can Draw It, curated by Carolina Jimenez at Glogauer, Berlin (2012), Ripe, curated by Amir Fattal and Ana Finel Honigman at Tape Modern Final Show, Berlin (2012), Metrospective at Future Gallery, Berlin (2011), St. Petersburg curated by Annika von Taube at ABC, Berlin (2011), 9 Scenes of Ordinary Murders (solo show) at Widmer-Theodoridis Projectraum Ehegraben, Zurich (2010), Askisis Evexias at Gaia Center, Goulandris Natural History Museum, Athens (2010), Girl Overkill 2 curated by Iris van Dongen at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2010), Earthly Delights curated by Ana Erickson at Tape Modern No. 11, Berlin (2009), Art + Nature at Villa Kazouli, Athens (2009).
