\n The drawings of Karolina Krasouli (b. 1962, Athens) mirror the artist’s interest in the research on the representation of visual phenomena, which are connected to the mechanisms of memory and language.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

The starting point of the gestural process of writing is the inspiration that Krasouli draws from literature, and more specifically, from poetry, autobiography and literary nonfiction. Sewing, painting, draping of the canvas, patterned motifs and spatial mapping on paper are all contemplative processes. Roland Barthes in his \u201cTheory of Texts\u201d considers the text as a constant \u201cweaving\u201d process. Every text is a weaving of earlier references. This \u201cintertextuality\u201d can also be found in Krasouli’s multi-layered works on canvas, as well as in her elaborate works on paper.<\/p>\n

Karolina Krasouli is a visual artist based in Athens. Following her studies in Clinical Psychology (Greece and France), she obtained a Master\u2019s in Fine Arts at the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts Lyon in 2014. Working in painting, photography and film, her works explore the boundaries between abstraction and representation. Through the process of reading and writing, Krasouli invokes a range of mechanisms whereby meanings and sentiments are \u201crewritten\u201d aiming to invent a new language. In 2015, she co-founded Alfabeto, a group for theoretical and practical research on the concept of transmission in art; Alfabeto organised a series of lectures and exhibitions at the French Academy in Rome. The same year, she was awarded a two-year fellowship for residency at the Cit\u00e9 des Arts in Paris. In 2019 she was a fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation\u2019s Artist Fellowship Program, Artworks. From January to March 2022, she was an artist in residence at the Delfina Foundation in London.<\/p>\n

She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Greece and abroad, including: Symbiotics<\/em> (curated by Miss Dialectic, EMST, Athens, 2023); \u0395ncore<\/em> (curated by E. Koukou, Chr.
