“Eida. Ostraka. Gemata” - A Solo Sculpture Exhibition By Leto Moustakaki

FokiaNou Art Space is pleased to present a sculpture exhibition by Leto Moustakakis.

Inspired by packing materials such as air-blister packs and plastic sheathing, the artist has created unique works in plaster that transform the everyday quality of objects into pieces that have substance and a power of their own, and narrate stories. The works manifest religious, metaphysical and futuristic references. The title translates loosely to “I saw. Shells. Full”. I saw - because the artist recognized them. Sea shells - they are white as bones and indefinite in age. Full – refers to the process of incarnation (gypsum injection).

Leto Moustakaki was born in Athens where she lives and works. She grew up in Sparta, where she worked with photography and mosaic. She studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts, graduating in 2014. She has also attended Tiffany's stained glass courses, stage design courses and has been doing sculpture for four years in the art workshops of Agia Paraskevi. She has recently included sound as part of her visual arts research.

FokiaNou Art Space is an artist-run project space in theintimacy of a small apartment in an old building in the center of Athens. The apartment has been transformed into an open space that encourages collaborative creative efforts between Greek and foreign artists, thereby promoting and supporting the local art community. The space hosts exhibitions, workshops and projects under the direction of two artists, Mary Cox and Panagiotis Voulgaris.
