Sotiris Sorogas – Syros of Vamvakaris through the Eyes of Sorogas
2026-06-16 23:49 UTC
In the work of Sotiris Sorogas, there is an internalized poetic approach to the Greek countryside that goes beyond the mere visual depiction of elements—it transforms them into symbols. With austerity and restraint in his painterly means, he condenses the emotional and semantic essence of a world ravaged by time and decay.
Stones from the Cycladic land arranged as parts of ruined haystacks, doors and windows worn by sea salt, abandoned old ironworks, remnants of boat hulls, and portraits of Syros’ personalities from old photographs comprise the thematic material of the exhibition.
