  Astrolavos dexameni

On Tuesday, 11th of April 2006, opens in the art space of ASTROLAVOS dexameni (Xanthippou 11, Kolonaki, tel no: 210 72 94 342, 3, fax no: 210 7293 317, www.astrolavos.gr) an exhibition of paintings, drawings and installation by Andromachi Giannopoulou, Foteini Kalle and Vana Datsouli entitled: "Silent Grounds".

What drove these three young, female artists to co-exhibit, therefore co-exist, in Astrolavos?
Small scale artworks made by original materials give fresh meaning to the pictorial image and try, with a strict concentration to the unconscious/ dreamlike, to bring to the surface all those peculiar situations which make up the everyday life. 'Feeling', a sense fully spread and used up as the scapegoat of our choices, is revealed based upon the different parameters which assemble the detail of the drawing and the purity of the outline are emphasized. A conscious, 'lived' reality is evident through realistic shapes used mainly by Andromachi Giannopoulou and Foteini Kalle, but also in the unrecognizable forms of Vana Datsouli. These works are charged by contrasting materials; sometimes vivid or faded by time into the power hidden within the soundless thoughts of modern man. This is why 'Silent Grounds' is above all a protest towards the blatant, easy and unprocessed of information, which the images of today give us.
