2010-10-01: Ôhe art exhibition of Yorgos Pastakas titled «The Wounds of the Stone» has been extended until 2011-01-09.
Yorgos Pastakas' exhibition features ten large-scale oil paintings depicting landscapes wounded by human activity: abandoned mines, pockmarked lands, miners' bodies that turned to stone while in full youth and assumed «the shape and the square monotony of the tools they used», bodies that are almost deformed, muscles that «contort themselves ready to explode from pain. And always, in some corner, a fragment of blue sea that evokes freedom and a perpetual flow», horizons promising journeys into the blue, into the light, new acquaintances, other worlds, fishing boats that leave behind them the wounded landscapes and the rusty machinery. The artist takes us on a sea journey, to «beautiful ruins and wounded landscapes that attest to their eternal drama. A great tale for such a small island. And yet, here too, the very same game was played as the one in famous empires and mighty kingdoms.» (Y. Maniotis).
