1983

Σπουδή για γλυπτό στο Walker Art Center III is a 1983 by Chryssa (Vardea-Mavromichali), held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
The drawing shows a tangle of lines and shapes that look like letters broken apart and rearranged. They form a sharp, glowing structure that feels both familiar and strange. Chryssa often used neon signs and city letters in her work, pulling them from New York streets and turning them into art. She liked how signs could shout a message but also become just shapes or light. In this sketch, you can see her testing how forms fit together, like a puzzle made of bright edges. The drawing feels electric, even though it’s just pencil on paper. Look up the technique: cross-hatching, stippling.
Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali (Greek: Χρυσά Βαρδέα-Μαυρομιχάλη; December 31, 1933 – December 23, 2013) was a Greek American artist who worked in a wide variety of media.
