On Thursday, May 4 at 8 p.m. Maria Demetriades opens the exhibition of the new
series of works by Maria Vlandi at the Medusa Art Gallery.
Sculptures made of clay, articulated and in light earthly tones, standing
frontally in the room and rising to a height of about 2 metres. The space
among them is interspersed with large ceramic spheres in dark metallic hues.
The general title is 'Appearances', and the large sculptures, prominent in
their static condition, make up an environment where the figure of the viewer
blends in .
As Maria Vlandi states in her introductory note in the catalogue of the
exhibition, "The aesthetic quest which determines the character of these works focuses
exclusively on the form. They are the sequel to and the evolution of the
initial idea of making sculptural volumes in an abstract form .
The original forms gradually led to these new articulated structures which
seem to have been looking for one another in order to regroup into a whole.
The 'Appearances' may be bringing to life for each individual a world which is
either familiar or recognisable. It may be that, through the 'unconscious
freedom' of art, they reveal my own reality. "
Opening Reception: 4 May 2006, 8pm
