Giannis Valiraki's solo exhibition, opens its doors on Thursday the 18th of October at Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery.

The painter’s solo exhibition under the title “In between” consists of a series of newly presented works (acrylics  on canvas). Each work exhibits the artist’s unique ability to retain a balance between detailed observation and the element of spontaneity. Through his abstract, yet revealing deconstruction of the form, his paintings are pulsating with emotion, color and vividness, always approaching his theme with directness, clarity and a sense of laxity.

This new project explores the relationship between form and color, blurring any presupposed story or meaning, thus offering the viewer a freedom to create his/her own narrative which lingers between fantasy and reality. It is a narrative deeply affected by the power and honesty of a naked body and its emotionally revealing pose and expression which gives birth to a flowing impression, untouched by academic conventions. A narrative which – almost like music – is in itself a direct form of human expression.

Thursday 18th of October at 19:30 p.m. Vas. Alexandrou 2 & Mixalakopoulou , Hilton Area.
