Myrianthe G. Sozou

Working with a wide range of media, Myrianthe Sozou’s body of work is focused on a sculptural and spatial approach to art. Optics have revolutionised human visual perception and Sozou is particularly intrigued by the composition of optical instruments because they were primarily made by simple contraptions using mirrors and magnifying lenses. In her site specific installations, she maintains the honesty and aesthetics of simple industrial mass materials and explores their ‘micro-macro’ elements, as well as their reflective, distortive and ultimately alienating qualities. As metaphors for the workings of the visual system, the works play with one’s vision and human perception whilst adhering to a somewhat minimal formal stringency.

 

Myrianthe Sozou is an emerging fine artist living and working between London and Limassol, Cyprus. Born in London in 1987, she has studied BA (Hons) Fine Art and has just completed MA Art and Science, both at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.  Currently, Sozou is preparing for her upcoming participations in group shows in London including a  project in collaboration with the Wakehurst Millennium Seed Bank at Kew Gardens, whilst planning her debut solo show in Cyprus.
