Yield point (solo show)

Mixed media, variable dimensions

a.antonopoulou.art Gallery, Athens, 2014

​

In engineering, the yield point is defined as the material’s thin red line: the maximum amount of pressure that a material can handle. As soon as this yield point is reached, the pressure applied is considered irreversible and the material is transformed, and from an elastic state it acquires a permanent, plastic one.
The show focuses on the transition from elasticity to permanent form or deformation. The artist is inspired by the graphical representation of the yield point, which is expressed by geometrical coordinates and specifically by the triangle shape and its multiple symbolisms.
