Dreams &
Dystopias
This thematic
unit focuses on the evolution of Athenian architecture as well as its
coexistence with the Attic landscape and light. This coexistence is at times
harmonious and at other times unbalanced, creating in every case dreams and
dystopias. Sometimes, however, dreams coexist with dystopias, both in reality
and on the painter's canvas.
Dramatic
shadows and a strong vertical tendency convey the notion of dystopia as well as
the distancing of humanity from nature. Yet, the harsh Athenian reality leaves
a glimmer of optimism through the soft Attic light.The subjects are approached
with a free geometric style and an abstract attitude, balancing between dream
and dystopia.
