Nakis Tastsioglou and Annita Xanthou
Fotis art cafe' - Fotis Mellios, Noussa
The bold lines and the strikingly formalistic aspect make the sculptures of Nakis Tastsioglou highly spectacular. The personal artistic gaze of Annita Xanthou serves to emphasise how energy, which we often imagine to be invisible and omnipotent.
Works
Fotis Mellios has created a cafe' at the harbour of Aghios Dimitris-Boukadoura in
Naoussa, Paros, which also functions as an art space and is now on its second
consecutive year of cooperation with the Medusa Art Gallery.
After last year's successful exhibition of Lina Bebi & Marigo Kassi, on Saturday,
June 17, 2006 at 9pm Maria Demetriades (Medusa Art Gallery, Athens) and Fotis
Mellios (Fotis art cafe') will open the exhibition of works by Nakis Tastsioglou &
Annita Xanthou.
"The bold lines and the strikingly formalistic aspect make the sculptures of Nakis
Tastsioglou highly spectacular. The austere, transparent expanse of Plexiglas
spreads with geometrical grace around metallic trunks/bases to generate impressive
mental associations with the aid of light (artificial or natural) as it is reflected
on the construction-sculpture.
At once robust and fragile, tangible and intangible, existent and nonexistent,
visible and invisible, these works are playing with the human senses, with visions
and dreams, with illusions, with everyday life and with the reality of the
constantly changing course of life."
Nakis Tastsioglou was born in Athens in 1955. He studied at the School of Fine Arts
of Florence under C. Sevena. He graduated in 1979.
"The personal artistic gaze of Annita Xanthou serves to emphasise how energy, which
we often imagine to be invisible and omnipotent, imprints itself in various forms
around us and demands respect and recognition. Her works assert themselves over
space and time with their dynamic aesthetic and their symbolism and manage to stir
up our interest in a world beyond matter. This is why each moment is unique and
inimitable, demanding our commitment and enthusiasm and demonstrating that there are
values and merits to be found beyond the obvious and beyond the familiar setting of
everyday reality."
