Eleanna Martinou at Batagianni gallery

Our quick journey to Athens gave us the opportunity to visit Eleanna's (our facebook friend) exhibition at Batagianni gallery. The exhibition is near to its end (runs from February 1st to the March 3rd, 2012). Certainly was our mistake that we did not make a post earlier because is worthwhile visiting "RADAR" (as this exhibition called) and we would dare to say that is a "NOT TO BE MISSED" event.
Eleanna Martinou's painting depicts the condition of habitat in our time, one of infinite urban landscape, informal construction, nomadism and pointless drift. Dense layers of color which contain vertiginal fragmented images of the Contemporary Metropolis, violent gestures on the canvas and a narrativity reminiscent of science fiction constitute the artistic place and manner. It is an attempt of Mapping Chaos, a Radar recording turbulent and delirious sensations.
RADAR, Batagianni Gallery, 3rd Iraklitou Street, Athens. Working hours: Tuesday-Friday 11.00-14.00 and 18.00-21.00, Saturday: 11.00-15.00
