About this work
The days and dates are written in white and red, but the rest is blurred into thick, dark strokes.
This painting looks like a calendar for January and February 1996. The days and dates are written in white and red, but the rest is blurred into thick, dark strokes. The colors are mostly black, gray, and a little blue, with some light yellow and white streaks.
The brushstrokes are heavy, almost like the paint was scraped on. The calendar is messy, with no clear shapes—just swirls and smudges.
If you like this kind of bold, messy style, look up abstract art.
Overview
Matoula Chatzisavvidou’s untitled piece, executed in 1997, belongs to the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. Though lacking a formal title, the work is identified by its Greek designation Χωρίς Τίτλο and is presented as a two‑dimensional image.
Technique & Style
The composition resembles a fragmented calendar spread for the early months of 1996, with the numerals of days rendered in stark white and red. The surrounding field is dominated by dense, dark brushwork in shades of black, gray and a muted blue, punctuated by occasional thin strokes of pale yellow and white that break the overall opacity.
Context
Created at the close of the 1990s, the work reflects a period when Greek contemporary artists were exploring the boundaries between everyday objects and abstract visual language. By integrating a familiar temporal device—a calendar—into an ambiguous, almost illegible field, the piece engages with notions of time, memory and the dissolution of order within a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
