"Thanks to art, instead of seeing exclusively one single world, our own, we see it multiplied, and as original artists appear, they offer us worlds that are more different from each other than the worlds that revolve in infinity..."
Marcel Proust

FokiaNou Art Space is please to present a group show entitled “Inspirational”. Through an open call, artists have been asked to reflect on their important influences from the past and present, whether they be painters, sculptors, architects, photographers, directors, poets, writers, or musicians. Emphasizing the relationship between mentor and student in any form, and exploring the dialogue between current production with what has come before, FokiaNou Art Space presents a palimpsest of what we are, do and express as artists, seeking those infinite different worlds that emerge through our work, its influences and references.
