The Artist

Yvette Kissi is a London based visual artist and textile designer. At the core of Yvette’s practice is an intrigue and love for colour, and the language and cultural connotations associated with it.

​

Her passion for the material behaviours that occur during her creative process directly transform into the detail, elegance and complexity that manifests in her luxury textile designs and abstract paintings.

​

Yvette’s pieces have an elevated elegance, and complexity and give each painting another form with which they can exist, be draped, shaped, and reshaped, on the body. This carefully developed language of colour, painting and textiles highlights the transformation when a piece is converted from one state to the other, allowing storytelling to transcend mediums because art doesn’t just have to be hung on the wall.

“[I am interested in textile because it is] Always in motion, anytime you touch something, there is bound to be a change.

The idea of a sheet that you can shape and reshape. It can be on the floor, it can be up on the ceiling, it can be up on the wall, all that fluidity is behind the concept.”
