Roula Partheniou (born 1977) is a Canadian contemporary artist. [1] She currently practices in Sackville, New Brunswick.
Partheniou was born in 1977 in Niagara Falls, Ontario. She was educated at the University of Guelph, where she received a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2001. [2] She lives and works in Toronto and is known for her installations that make use of minimalist forms. [3] These forms often aestheticize everyday objects such as the Rubik's cube, [4] beach balls, books, tennis balls and bottle caps, [5] [6] at the same time as they imitate the original form of the object. [7] Art critic Terence Dick has said that Partheniou's work "sits intriguingly in the middle ground between the essence of something, and the instance of it". [8]
She is the co-founder of artists' editions press, Nothing Else Press. [9]
Her work is held in numerous private and public collections, including the University of Toronto Art Collection, [10] the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives, Munich Re, The Bank of Montreal, and TD Bank. [11]
