In her 14th solo show, Vasso Triga explores oases on canvas and clay. Her imagery is stimulating, with healing qualities to the viewer, focusing on nature, and the wealth of colours and organisms she encounters when enveloped by it.

Elpi Saranti was born in 1993 and lives and works in Athens. She completed her BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design, USA. Saranti’s multi-sensory drawings are filled with colorful patters, natural elements like fire and water and constellations of designed costumes. Paying closer attention to the drawings, we can discern recurring symbolic motifs such as the medusa, ribbons made by cockroachs and symbolizing fear, underwater creatures and rainbows inspired by mythology.

Iris gallery is pleased to present August, Alexandros Simopoulos’ first exhibition with the gallery, which introduces a new body of paintings and works on paper. The works presented here have been produced in isolation mode during the past two years between Greece and Switzerland. Their color palette, subject matter and materials hold the marks of their geographical making: that of rural Valais in the Swiss Alps and coastal Attica and the Cyclades in Greece. The natural landscape becomes here the backdrop where Simopoulos’ open-ended shοrt stories evolve. Soil, rocks, the sea, the moon and the sun are all recurring symbols.
