Lena Torikov

Lives and works in Melbourne.

Lena Torikov's work is concerned with exploring the possibilities of breaking down areas of space in order to create new space. Lines provide a structure for these spaces to occur while maintaining a sense of looseness and spontaneity through the continuous rhythm present in the art of scribbling. As an artist she is interested in critiquing the line between the discourses of art and design.

She combines oil stick and enamel on both paper and linen to create her abstract meditations that allude to universal themes.

Her first solo show with Helen Gory Galerie was Visual Paradigms in 2000
