About the Item

Ketta Ioannidou Excuse Me While I Kiss The Sky II 2020 Oil on canvas 12 x 9 inches Signed and dated on verso Ioannidou’s paintings exist in a dreamlike state, creating a weightless, fleeting moment and an indeterminate psychological space. Migrating between water, sky and land she creates abstract images in a process that feels like layering memories, simplifying them down to their essence – the shapes, the colors, the feelings. Flurries of deep vibrant hues are amplified, blended, blurred, and soaked until they appear liquid, invoking morphing landscapes and dissipating natural phenomena receding towards oblivion. In the oil on paper series Black Rainbows (2019), repeated rounded forms of darkened blotches appear before vertical streams of deeply saturated hydro skies while in Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky I, II and III, shadow clouds infuse patterns against an acid lime, bubble pink and cerulean blue backdrop. Ketta Ioannidou (b. Nicosia, Cyprus) lives and works in New York, NY. Ioannidou holds an MFA from School of Visual Arts and a BA (Honors) from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Ioannidou represented Cyprus in the Cairo and Alexandria Biennales in Egypt and the 18th Asian Biennale in Bangladesh. She has had solo exhibitions at The Yard, Brooklyn, NY; South Oxford Space, Brooklyn, NY; Diatopos Centre of Contemporary Art, Nicosia, Cyprus; Chashama, New York, NY. Ioannidou has participated in group exhibitions at Thierry Goldberg, New York, NY; Superchief Gallery NFT, New York, NY; SPRING/BREAK Art Show, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA; The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY; NARS Foundation, Brooklyn, NY; Kustera Projects Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY. Residencies include Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space, AIM at the Bronx Museum, I-Park, and Aljira Emerge. Her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Art in America, Flash Art, the Brooklyn Rail, and Hyperallergic. This work is currently on view though February 15 at IFAC Arts New York, 85 Delancey St, New York, NY
