Blast from the Past at Kalfayan Gallery
Ancient Greece has always been, and continues to be, a strong source of inspiration for artists worldwide. That’s the starting point for Blast from the Past, the new exhibition at Kalfayan Galleries in Kolonaki, which celebrates “the continuous and influential role of Greek Antiquity on modern and contemporary visual artists.”
Artworks by internationally acclaimed artists such as Alekos Fassianos and Nikos Engonopoulos are juxtaposed to those of emerging artists. Some include references to iconic architectural monuments and ancient works of art that are easy to spot around Athens. Others feature the ancient Greek past in subtler details, as seen through the artist's eyes. Finally, some artworks have been created through a process that alludes to certain ancient Greek ideals, such as the classical ideal of perfection.
