The exhibition<\/b> of Giorgos Kordi’s<\/b> paintings<\/b> entitled “Emotion” A reference to K.P. Cavafy<\/b> opened<\/b> at the Nomismatic Museum<\/b> on 25 April.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was co-organized by the Numismatic Museum and Aimilia Kougia.<\/b> Art historian and visual artist Niovi Kritiko<\/b> curated the exhibition and architect Edoxia Xanthopoulou<\/b> did the museum design. The works on display belong to the “Collection of Evangelos and Katigos Angelakos”<\/b> which they kindly provided.<\/p>\n

As Niobe Kritiko notes, “George Kordis, approaching the historical poems of Constantine P. Cavafy, opens a substantial visual dialogue with the Alexandrian poet,<\/b> not to illustrate, but to transmute the poetic body into an aesthetic site of experience, where history is experienced as an internal event and a meditation on fate,<\/b> power and human dignity.<\/p>\n

His figures, rooted in the Byzantine idiom, bear the hierarchy of the icon<\/b> and embody Kabbaphatic heroes through the prism of the Greco-Byzantine period,<\/b>while the dense symbolic imagery converses subterraneously with the poems, inviting the viewer into an experiential existential reading.<\/p>\n

The theatrical staging of the images organizes funerary compositions that fix the gaze on the essential and activate the viewer as a participant, with the demos acting as ancient tragedy’s chorus,<\/b> as a collective mind or as a silent witness to the hero.<\/b> Through the vivisection of bodies, the visible recedes and the suggestive becomes heavy,<\/b> while ”light” is not painted but emerges and signifies. The warm blacks, infused with the reds of the earth, become a peculiar painterly find that reveal the subject and activate a deeper mechanism of reading<\/b>.”<\/p>\n
