Synkroniciti is excited to welcome Angie Vein, a visual artist of Greek descent. Her series The Beginning of a New Era, “investigates and negotiates the relationship between deep expression and a modern fast-moving digital world, the temperament of a traditional city colliding with the modern digital new age.” “Space” features four of her haunting captures of industrial architecture at night from The Beginning of a New Era: Highbernation, an eerie high-rise building surrounded by fog; It’s About Time, a playfully exuberant exploration of colored light from windows; ΕΣώΨυΧΑ (Yourself), contrasting deep darkness with light emanating from windows and striped by blinds; and Joker’s Boulevard II, which gazes up at tall buildings that leer overhead like bullies, their windows glowing in menacing shades of blue and green. Angie combines natural phenomenon with lighting effects to amplify the atmosphere or mood of the place and create movement. “Working mainly with lights and building architecture at night, with reflective areas and industrial surfaces, my photographic work researches the nocturnal urban landscape, creating particularly unusual atmospheres.” These photos are cinematographic in style and visual palette, evoking science fiction, mystery and horror. You may find yourself searching the frame for a nocturnal superhero or villain.
Experience Angie’s captivating photography and read a little about her process in Synkroniciti’s November 30th issue, “Space,” Vol. 5, No. 4, available for purchase here: https://synkroniciti.com/the-magazine/purchase-individual-issues/. Angie is an emerging artist you do not want to miss.
Angie Vein is a student of Andreas Charalambous and a graduate of the Digital and Multimedia Department of the University of Nicosia, Cyprus.
Angie is a multidisciplinary artist working with urban landscapes and concepts using photography and installation in combination with painting and materiality. Her photographic work researches the nocturnal urban, creating particularly unusual atmospheres. Her oil paintings are usually made plein-air and depict abstract landscapes on large scale found objects (usually flat wood/panel/plastic surfaces). Her installations create environments that arouse questions, emotions, and a sensitivity for the tragic times in which we are living in terms of environmental and sociopolitical issues that impact the planet on a global scale.
