Cerf-Volant

In the late 1980s, Alex Mylona worked on a series of collages with coloured cardboard or cardboard coloured with gouache. An example of this unity of compositions is the work "Cerf-Volant". The constant willingness to experiment defines the path of the artist, a path characterized by the internal consistency and the dynamism of her quest. She chooses pure colours, without tonal gradations, and creates symmetrical and rigorous compositions. The way in which geometric shapes are assembled or emerge through the folds of coloured cardboard impose a sense of movement and space, intensifying the architectural structure and the prevailing constructivist perception. The unity of these works is very close to the purity, simplicity and geometry of the sculptures of the same period, although they impose themselves on the space with the whiteness of their marble, flat surfaces.
