Works from the cycle to the sphere and vice versa
…The Sun, cycle-pursued,
Like a spider it surrounded me,
With light and with death,
ceaselessly.
(Andreas Kalvos, THE LYRE, Ode 3 «To death», strophe κ΄, verses 97-100)
The Sianti Gallery, continuing its original thematic exhibitions, which were received in the most positive way by both the public and the critics, is now proposing a painting, sculpture and installations exhibition revolving around the idea of the cycle and the sphere. The “Cycle-pursued” thematic, continuing and completing the previous “Tondo” exhibition, is a discussion on archetypical matters concerning life and the arts. It is a discussion on the cycle and the sphere, the perfect shape and the perfect body, both symbolizing the causality and completeness of things such as the absoluteness of life and death, as hinted in the abovementioned famous verses of Kalvos.
