Technohoros Art Gallery at ART-ATHINA 2013

Technohoros Art Gallery participates in the 20th edition of ART-ATHINA with five Greek artists and an artist from New-Zealand. In their stand F5 at Faliro Pavilion (TaeKwonDo) the gallery presents Costas Varotsos, Stathis Vatanidis, Nick Dryden, Yannis Gourzis, Angelika Vaxevanidou and Manolis Anastasakos.

World-wide famous artist Costas Varotsos has created a sculpture installation and invites the visitors in a dialogue on the cultural crisis in Greece the past few years, giving great importance to the issue of immigrant humanity.

Painter Stathis Vatanidis, with his human-centered works, presents a large dimensional work that portrays our city through his own artistic glance capturing everyday events and transforms them in a particular iconography.

Internationally recognized sculptor Nick Dryden has many influences from his Greek mother and presents a sculpture with references in the economic and moral crisis that experiences Greece connecting the current German expansionism with the German occupation during the II World War.

Exceptional engraver and ASFA lecturer Yannis Gourzis, presents his newest intaglio and rellief artworks. He is one of the last wood engravers.

Angelika Vaxevanidou few months after her solo exhibition at Technohoros, she comes from Paros and presents two new works (large-dimensional drawings). Her work travels in the discreet details of the relation between the two individual identities (self-instructive as well as that imposed by the social coercion) and acts revealingly concerning their effect and influence. She uses the figure in order to cause an inevitable juxtaposition with the subjectivity having removed all the romantic pretext and leaving the spectator and her subject, unprotected.

New artist Manolis Anastasakos, presents two installation-sculptures that will cause a lot of comments. The first installation-sculpture, entitled Shadow Theatre, presents Jesus Christ crucified, with His body members being portrayed by radiographs. A dynamic artwork due to its religious symbolism. At the same time, it is a work very modern and important in an artistic level as it is the first time in the history of art that the "internal world" of God is being presented as an image "composed" from all of us.
