Marking Kyritsopoulou's first solo show in London, Two Hands Holding One Arm brings together a new body of photographs, objects and text connecting formal considerations and magic tricks with a discussion about selfhood, anxiety and the messy business of living.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a text written by art historian and cultural theorist Dr. Mara Polgovsky.

Amanda Kyritsopoulou (b.1989) is a Greek artist living and working in London. She completed her MA in Contemporary Fine Art Practice at the Royal Academy Schools, RA in 2021 and has showcased her work in the UK and internationally. Through a combination of photography, text, sculpture and time-based work, Amanda fabricates clusters of objects, expressing an attraction to everything that shapes everyday life for the anxious urbanite. Borrowing from the highs and lows of function, consumption, sport, DIY and with a trickster's approach to materiality, colour and display, her practice is an absurd reflection on the self and the world, the self in this world, this world in the self.
