Alexandra Kehayoglou is an Argentinian and Greek visual artist who works primarily with textile materials. She produces works combining textiles, sculpture and installation. Alexandra’s repertoire includes memories of various native and endangered landscapes that the artist has visited and desires to preserve over time. Her renowned pastizales (grasslands), fields, and shelter tapestries exhibit sublime realities which the viewer can contemplate or utilize. In 2014, Kehayoglou created a major collaboration with Belgian designer, Dries Van Noten. She developed a carpet of fifty metres long inspired by John Everett Millais’ Ophelia. In 2016, Kehayoglou presented the No Longer Creek at Design Miami/Basel, decrying the decimation of the Raggio creek in Buenos Aires. In October 2016, the work Repoussoir for a New Perspective was exhibited at the Onassis Foundation, New York, as part of the festival Antigone Now. At the end of 2017, The Triennial of The National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, included Kehayoglou’s work Santa Cruz River. The work is an interactive installation part of an extensive research project about the future damming of the Santa Cruz River in the Argentinian Patagonia. Alexandra’s work is created from an ancient family tradition that gives new meaning to the craft of weaving by hand. A publication featuring an overview of her projects will be published by Verlag der Buchhaundlung Walther König, in 2021.
