Petros Karagiannis

This Greek artist made two works in 1956: a painting titled Landscape: Galatsi and a metalwork titled Synthesis. Both sit in a quiet, unlabelled tradition that lets the materials speak first. Landscape: Galatsi shows the Athens suburb bathed in the flat, Mediterranean light of the mid-century. Synthesis bends copper or bronze into shapes that feel like a second skin for the same light and space. See how the flat planes of the painting echo the bent planes of the metalwork.
