Annie Riga (b.1997) is a Visual artist based between London and Athens. Her artistic practice encompasses painting, sculpture and installation- creating works that blur the binaries between the real and imagined topos. Exploring this state of ‘inbetweeness’, she merges and collapses mediums: her paintings acquire a spatial quality, whilst sculptures appear to have emerged from an image. Through this interchange between materialities and dimensions, she contemplates on the relations between conscious and unconscious, tamed and unruly - inviting the viewer to enter a liminal state where these contrasting states harmoniously converge into a singular experience.
