ELEFTERIA VLAVIANOS | SOLO EXHIBITION
Menu
Building upon the earlier series, Vlavianos continues the exploration of liminal spaces and the transient beauty of nature. Through the expressive use of oil paint, the works investigate the poetics of haze, mist, and fog, blending memory, photographic studies, and painterly techniques to evoke the ephemeral glow of Orquevaux’s morning light. This body of work invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between landscape and atmosphere, offering a meditative homage to the delicate balance of order and flux found in nature.
Elefteria Vlavianos was born in Zimbabwe of mixed Armenian and Greek heritage. She is an abstract painter who’s visual practice has developed through an ongoing investigation into the process abstraction, its vocabulary and conventions as a visual translation of a displaced cultural aesthetic. Her paintings draw on her multi-cultural Armenian and Greek heritage. Imagery in her paintings is derived from her current research of thirteenth century Armenian Manuscript Paintings and the tradition of Armenian textile crafts. Continued themes within her practice and paintings, are time, silence, presence and memory as they tie into a dialogue between representation, visibility and abstract painting. In this framework issue such a colour, structure, and mark making are key concerns as they translate across time, space and between two idioms in painting.
