Curated by Odette Kouzou Opening: Friday 12 June, 19:00 – 21:00
Kalfayan Galleries presents the first solo exhibition by Konstantinos Mouchtaridis, titled The Earliest Winds. The exhibition features a body of work consisting of tempera paintings on wood, alongside watercolour drawings on paper. The landscape remains central to his practice, yet here it emerges from his insistence on painting that which cannot be painted: the wind.
In this new series of works, his contemplation begins with the quintessential iconographic tradition of landscape representation and, by extension, the elements of nature, which are depicted by means of anthropomorphic forms and symbolisms. A central point of reference in his research is the Tower of the Winds in Plaka, where the eight principal winds are depicted in relief, personified as winged deities. There, each figure is accompanied by a unique symbol, while in his works, the identity of the winds shifts from image to sensation.
