Anna Koutsafti

Anna Koutsafti holds a BA in Fine Art with merit from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Bourges and an MFA from the Glasgow School of Art. She has participated in a collective printmaking residency at the Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. Her work has featured in multiple exhibitions, such as: On Geoffroy Tory at the Bibliotheque des Quatres Pilliers in Bourges, France. Orbiting Modernity at Tranzit Cluj in Romania. Labyrinth: how many times? at the New Glasgow Society in Glasgow, UK. Do Something at the Barnes Garage in Glasgow, UK

Anna Koutsafti is a multidisciplinary Greek artist currently working in Glasgow, Scotland. Her works are intertwine text and images, form and meaning, to create textile installations. Anna questions the digital realm, the contradictions of popular imagery and sophisticated abstraction. Working with mostly poor images, scavenged online, or produced by the artist through unconventional means, she interrogates the oftentimes dystopic sovereignty of the HD digital word that fuses itself with our reality. Her autofictional work is exploring themes of uncertainty, desire and generalized anxiety, all byproducts of the unstable reality of our times.
