Lina Iris Viktor joins Pilar Corrias
Pilar Corrias is thrilled to announce representation of Lina Iris Viktor.
Lina Iris Viktor is a Liberian-British multidisciplinary artist who lives and works between Italy and the UK. Interweaving disparate materials, methods and visual lexicons associated with contemporary and ancient art forms, Viktor authors an idiosyncratic mythology that divines future imaginaries. Her synthesis of painting, sculpture, performance, photography and water gilding with 24-carat gold produces a charged materiality that at once addresses philosophical ideas of the finite and the infinite, the microcosm and macrocosm, evanescence and eternity, whilst provoking sociopolitical and historical preconceptions of ‘blackness’ and its universal implications.
Most recently, Lina participated in In The Black Fantastic at the Hayward Gallery (2022), and a selection of the artist's work will be presented in Let The Sunshine In, a forthcoming group show across both Pilar Corrias spaces in January 2023.
