Bilingual publication documenting Rena Papaspyrou's latest work, presented at the Onassis Foundation Stegi in 2021.
The themes of architecture and the materiality of urban space have consistently been central to Papaspyrou's artistic practice since the mid-1960s. For the artist, the city acts as a true workshop, where she creatively engages with the microstructural elements of materials and perceives surfaces as carriers of various meanings. This perspective enables her to create painterly images that come to life through the viewer's associations.
In her work, Papaspyrou expresses her artistry through a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, performance, video, and photography.
