Description

The internationally acclaimed artist Apostolos Yiayiannos presents his latest work at Alpha Gallery.

The artist leaves aside his usual social themes and starts with passion a single subject research. A research on flowers, only. He examines the details and the characteristics of each flower with the accuracy and the gaze of a persistent agriculturalist. He regenerates and magnifies the forms, he mixes the colors by playing with the shades in a way that the final result, besides being exactly the same as the original flower, is an artwork that surpasses mere representation and becomes an image of fantasy or a symbol of emotions.

The artist claims that through this persistence of his, he seeks the creation of a deterrent spell against the public’s bad psychology nowadays and he tries to bring before our eyes a good omen for the future.

This is the artist's 64th solo exhibition and is being shown parallel to his exhibit at Athens' Titanium Gallery.

The exhibition opens on the 15th of May at 19:00.
