About
Why this artist matters now
Chryssa is a Greek American sculptor who pioneered light-based installation art using neon, steel, aluminum, and acrylic glass. Working from New York studios beginning in the mid-1950s, she developed a signature approach to luminist sculpture that treated industrial materials as vehicles for color and illumination. Her formal vocabulary emerged from an engagement with urban signage and architectural light, which she recomposed into monumental abstract forms. Since 1992 she has maintained a studio in Athens.
