It was an ancient Roman emblem depicting fascis (fascismo) parcels around an ax. They were still. Dead like! We are opposite, we are overtaking.. Love or fascism, the second group exhibition  with the crew of Elli Griva.

Orbital Objects, Pantelis Chandris<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his solo exhibition Orbital Objects Pantelis Chandris creates a visual narrative, an unexpected world, one of contrasts and references that exists associatively. In “Orbital Objects”, Pantelis Chandris produces an installation that is the reflection of a universal reference. It is a visual Cosmos, in the earliest interpretation of the term; in other words, it is a Universe in which an oceanic feeling wanders, the awe of the unknown, the infinite and the inconceivable. The works, therefore, are part of an orbit; a movement that neutralises time and renegotiates the meaning of the present. The artist defines it as an “atypical planetary garden”, where sculptures and paintings act as rotating objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Wish\u2019, Karolina Krasouli<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition of Karolina Krasouli at Kalfayan Galleries continues the artist’s research on the representation of visual phenomena, which are connected to the mechanisms of memory and language. Her new works capture the multi-layered symbolism of a ‘wish’, and at the same time are ‘open’ to interpretation. Krasouli’s ‘wishes’ sometimes take the form of drawings with colored pencils on paper, while in other cases they are expressed through stitched canvases. Through a process of reading and writing, the artist uncovers a set of mechanisms where meanings and sensations are “rewritten” with the aim to invent a new language between abstraction and representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature, so rich and endless, still surprises the painter with every glance. In the effort to render this surprise, these works are born and pulsate with vitality and rhythm, with movement and explosive expression. The great microcosm of the Cretan “longos” is still here, caressing the soles, an invitation for lonely walks to those who know how not to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”In medias res”, Christos Pallantzas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition visitor will have the opportunity to travel through landscapes that exude a peculiar romance and eroticism, as they become an ”ode” to the most sacred moment for the painter, that of creation. It is the time when the day leaves to give way to the night.
The artist’s arsenal is memory and emotion as well as his ability to trace and understand all the light and darkness of the human soul. Christos Pallantza’s artworks reflect his interest in making the invisible visible. The artists’ goal is the revelation of the inner side of things, the revelation of truth, not becoming, but being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Feretos, Through the animal\u2019s gaze<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the presented section, George Feretos, through an amazingly masterful design, brings to us -one by one – a group of domestic animals to the forefront of viewing. Through their position in the visual field, and furthermore through their posture and expressiveness, these animals disarm us. Our gaze is focused on their gaze, on their innocence and inner fear, on their caution and the acceptance of their infallible instincts. We identify with the unconditional trust with which one feels that they are addressing us, even though their gaze does not hide the existing and emerging suspicions about their imminent execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the fields, Giannis Kastritsis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist presents a painting-sculpture environment, where the mixed media paintings come into conversation with a large herd of clay animals. Kastritsis uses the symbolic title “Back to the fields” to make a comment on the distancing of modern human from the natural environment and his alienation from the experiential perception of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erosions, Valerios Caloutsis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerios Caloutsis (1927-2014) worked on ” Erosions” from 1987 to 2010. From the fantastic landscapes he created in the first half of the ’80s, where he combines photography with collage and drawing, he has moved on to works that have volume and depth. These works refer to detached rocks, landslides, ravines and burnt landscapes. This three-dimensional painting \u2013 the press of the time characterized it as “mineral” or “constructive” \u2013 showed a nature that is being destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, the main representative source of information have been objects of common use, whose cultural expression is less conscious and more honest, through what society produces. Pottery is a huge part of material culture and has provided important insight into the culture of people of every era through form, iconography and material use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this exhibition I present two vertebral sculptural compositions made of clay. These vertebrae refer to remains of civilizations, that are usually found unused and abandoned in the environment. I reposition and recompose these remains, creating installations with clear references to the past, which through my perspective gain a new contemporary dimension expressing my position on modern life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her recent work Eugenia Apostolou recycles the rubble derived from destroyed previous works. She selects the pieces and rebuilds them in a new situation with the use of gauze that withholds the smashed matter. The result is a continuous flux of matter that creates a three dimensional effect. Even though the works evolve within the limits of the canvas they acquire sculptural form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond our physical realm and at the same time closely connected to our reality, they enter consciousness and reflect our fears, hopes and dreams, in a constant effort to manage the painful experience and understand the cycle of our perishable existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikos Angelidis\u2019 new exhibition comprises of27 artworks, which he created since 2018. Seven years after his previous show at Skoufa Gallery, Angelidis\u2019 work is still defined by a skilled, realistic depiction of dreamy scenes, a love for the detail and an absence of any linear or atmospheric perspective. In these new artworks, narration is exceeded by a deep personal humor, expressed by riddles and puzzles. His mixed media constructions are in concurrence with his paintings, becoming 3-dimensional toys of his pictorial visions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
