Construction I

Alex Mylona, in the late 1980s, worked on a large series of collage projects with coloured cardboard or gouache-coloured cardboard, of which the "Construction I" series is a part. The constant willingness to experiment, determines the path of the creator; a path characterized by the internal coherence and dynamics of her searches. She chooses clearcolors without tonal gradations, while she creates symmetrical and strict compositions. The way in which the geometric shapes are combined or arise through the folds of the colored cardboards, impose the sense of movement and space and intensify the architectural structure and the dominant constructivist perception.The unity of these artworks is very close to the purity, simplicity and geometry of her sculptures of the same period, although they impose themselves on the space with the whiteness of their marble, flat surfaces.
