A selection of more than 100 drawings, paintings and wood and fabric compositions attest to Tassos Mantzavinos’ enduring fascination with Byzantine art in a show at the institution dedicated to the subject, the Byzantine & Christian Museum (byzantinemuseum.gr). Chiefly, the exhibition seeks to highlight how elements of religious and folk art and architecture influenced the artist’s personal idiom.
Already since the 1980s, Tasos Mantzavinos has established his own personal artistic dialect through painting and constructions. His world is a collection of memories, experiences and emotions with obvious influences from mythology, Christian tradition and popular iconography. In his works, one could discern an unconscious mourning, which is captured not only by the expressiveness and skepticism of the faces, but also by the intense shading and color changes.
