Angela Liosi (b.1980) lives and works between Athens and Iraklia and is a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts. She is an interdisciplinary 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. Liosi thinks through, looks at and finally traces a fusion of real sites and imagined landscapes in an effort to bridge physical and metaphysical realms. In her practice discourses binding together the geopolitical with the performative as a promise and an invitation, and theories of touching the personal and the collective, the haptic and the imaginary as interconnected means are in the forefront, affecting and being affected by the actual artistic gesture.

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).
