Paul Insect: exhibition in Athens – Greece , by astarti on Jul 16, 2021 14:53:11 GMT 1, Paul Insect's exhibition in Athens – Greece (and an echo from the past)…
Yesterday was the opening of Paul Insect s exhibition in Athens in Allouche Benias Gallery. Being a true believer I rushed to the center of Athens this morning despite the heat wave, lack of means of transportation (cannot drive!) and the rise of covid infections.
The news of the upcoming exhibition brought a bitter sweet feeling inside. It was a reminder of another event, which I missed, and greatly regret; the exhibition of Bast. I find it so proper and so well thought to have in the same walls presented the masterpieces of Paul. And whether one is a believer or not, I did get a fleeting feeling of an echo from the past blending with our present. I think its called memory of things and certainly I ll never forget...
Allouche Benias, thank you for making the impossible possible: bring to us such incredible artworks, in a magical space, with love and care. It is greatly appreciated!
All works were untitled. I have added a little commend over them, I hope it wont be perceived as inappropriate or pretentious…
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
between the crosses, row on row...
Acrylic on canvas 190x255 cm
2021
Nature s first green is gold
her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf s a flower;
but only so an hour.
Acrylic on canvas 130x180 cm
2021
But in her web she still delights
to weave the mirror s magic sights...
Acrylic on canvas 100x100 cm
2021
Apologies for the long thread but I couldn't just leave it to this. I mentioned the Bast show earlier, so whoever is interested to have a look here is the link

"You seemed so far away"...
"Oh, I was. I was flying past the stars on silver wings...It was wonderful"...

Thank you @coach. It was a great experience for me and the little one. Didn't expect him to enjoy our trip so much, but he did, and most importantly he didn't touch and didn't brake a thing!

Indeed Lroy
The detail is insane in the third canvas. In my mind I baptised her "The Lady of Shalott", hence the quote above the image.

The first one is very interesting too, in another style ( less " kind " )... I mean I like a lot the visage of course, but also , would like to see more the blue background ( with different media and colors ) and the pink/red ears, it looks unusual in Pins, I like this " dirty " sides as unfinished... |
