Popel Coumou
Born 1978, Velsen, The Netherlands. Lives and works in Amsterdam.
Popel
Coumou constructs artworks using layers of paper that are positioned
over and alongside each other. The visual effect is graphic and
playful. The simplest physical constructions – handmade collages –
are transformed into intriguing, dreamlike images that compel the
viewer to question what they see. Using only paper and light, Popel
creates a sense of being suspended in space and time.
The
layers out of which she builds her latest interiors are photographs
of skies. These cause natural colour gradients and create an illusion
of depth, while the texture in the paper itself is clearly visible.
These paper shapes transform into three-dimensional spaces. Popel
explores the way our minds work; how little information we need in
order to fill in the blanks and create our own realities.
