Egg-Shaped Objects

In the early 1960s Alex Mylona primarily used two materials, aluminium and stone, creating a series of artworks in which she combined these two raw materials in a unique way each time. Usually the aluminium is usually applied over black slate, clearly allowing the interaction between solid and vacuum to emerge, giving depth to the frontality, while at the same time the majority of the artworks are characterised by complexity and strict linear design. In other cases, the aluminium composition is placed on the stone base, causing both colour and visual contrasts in terms of volumes and proportions between the two materials. One such case is the artwork "Ovals", where the oval shapes contrast directly with the solid rectangular shape of the stone base.
