Michail Pirgelis Transforms Aircraft Parts into Abstract Art at Kunstraum München
At Kunstraum München, Michail Pirgelis unveils 'Hawaiian Hills,' a two-floor installation. The pieces are made from authentic aircraft components featuring red-and-white stripes, resembling abstract flag fragments. Pirgelis modifies these repurposed materials through cutouts and various surface treatments. The artworks, characterized by their red stripes and white backgrounds, draw parallels to abstract Minimal Art. The title 'Hawaiian Hills' suggests a yearning space that stands in contrast to the installation's conceptual nature.
