Winter Selection: Part two
This winter, the gallery presents a focused installation pairing the textile-based abstractions of Melinda Harper with the kinetic, linear sculptures of Konstantin Dimopoulos. The exhibition isolates and investigates the formal tensions governing structural line, woven color, and physical volume.
Melinda Harper’s hand-stitched tapestries destabilise the traditional boundaries of geometric abstraction. Through a dense, systematic layering of paint and thread, her rhythmic stitchwork constructs a vibrant optical grid. These intricate compositions actively manipulate the viewer's depth perception, transforming flat textiles into pulsating fields of color and movement.
Directly confronting these works, two linear rod sculptures by Konstantin Dimopoulos activate the gallery’s interior architecture. Composed of clustered, flexible industrial materials, these skeletal forms pierce the air. They translate subtle atmospheric shifts and ambient motion into quiet, kinetic drawings in space, challenging the static nature of the white cube.
Together, the exhibition orchestrates a direct dialogue between the woven surface and the fluid line. By showcasing these distinct practices side-by-side, the installation prompts a closer reading of how both artists negotiate tension, mass, and rhythmic frequency.
