Birds are symbols of the soul herself, the freedom of thought, good luck and wisdom. Our minds link fertility, rebirth and reincarnation to the form and sound of a bird.
 
I spy with my little eye….

The Blender Gallery presents the viewing room “Bird Watchers” and invites all art lovers to spot the form of a bird in the compositions of Alexandros Magganiotis, Konstantinos Patsios, Anna Charaktinou, Dimitra Bouritsa, Taxiarchis Mermiris and artistic couple Konstantinos Berdeklis x Thomais Kopania.

Just before summer arrives, The Blender Gallery presents a viewing room that is essentially an ode to Spring, the season of lovers that so many artists have attempted to encapsulate in their work since antiquity.

In some occasions the main subject, like in the fragile piece of Anna Charakinou, in others an element of the composition, revealed after careful observing, and finally in one occasion - that of the metallic cut out of Dionisios Fragias - the bird is is present metaphorically. Similarly to Fragias work, the wearable art piece by Thomais Kopania and Konstantinos Berdeklis hides a bird in its own form - outline.

Birds are symbols of the soul herself, the freedom of thought, good luck and wisdom.Fertility, rebirth and reincarnation and every connotation brought along by Spring is linked to the form and sound of a bird. Sky and land, the horizon line so often chosen as a theme by artists, is eternally intertwined with the flap of a bird’s wings.
