ART-REVIEW:Transcendental Geometry

The group exhibition at Gallery A-D, focus in the reference of Geometry in Art, especially emphasizing at the transcendent space, is one of the most interesting challenges, for someone to regard artworks that knows and to read them again, to discover new themes, to rethink and create new connections and balances. Artworks that outside communicate each other, as the artwork of Alexiou with Gavaise’s that while iconographic seem to have an affinity, theoretically and philosophically are contrary. The artwork of Alexiou is dark and turbulent, just as was the way of his approach to the transcendental of Orthodoxy and Monasticism, in relation to the universal experience of the artwork of Gavaise that emits lots of light and power. The artwork of Giannakos is included and extended to the artwork of Samothrakis and vice versa through the vertical axis that unites, defines and identifies them, creating deep-transcendent emotion. Through the Absolute Geometry and the Absolute White that surrounds almost with mathematical precision the artwork of Totsikas, meets with an old work of Danil, where through the humility of materials creates an intermediate space that contains principles and values. The way in which the artworks have been placed on the walls in the two floors of the gallery, is almost ceremonial and entirely geometric and involves surprise. If the viewer closes his eyes and mentally create new relationships, changing the position and the sequence of the artworks and artists, the result is the same, without shifting the center of gravity. Thus are created new visual dialogues, where arise new couples of works that the operation between them has the same accuracy required by the geometry and the awe that causes the transcendental. Emotions that can feel and hark all who are willing, even for a few minutes to be coordinated and reconnect with the axis that unites us above and below.-Efi Michalarou
