CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Naya Magaliou’s work has been engaged in social and cultural matters often expressed through her interest in the written word, which has become an ever-growing concern. How words are combined, framed, presented, and their impact, is essential to her practice. She structures pertinent sentences which are meticulously printed on a variety of surfaces through the use of stencils, lino cuts, and other methods. The visual and compositional elements are just as important as their linguistic nuances. Often, the visual arrangement of words and phrases are used in repetition in order to achieve a rhythmical result. She strives to create repeated patterns which carry with them a tempo; an ebb and flow, so to speak.
