About
Yota Kots is a London-based painter and architect. Her semi-abstract paintings are built from fragments: hundreds of individual palette-knife strokes, each laid down like a single petal or feather. From across a room the fragments settle into one silhouette; up close they scatter again into ridges of colour and light.
Her architectural training shapes a fascination with repetition and structure, and with the interplay between figure, ground and frame. Light meets dark, forms mirror one another, and patterns turn like the view through a kaleidoscope.
