\u201cThis series was born from a profound sense of displacement, one that reshaped our relationship with space and our journey through life,\u201d say organisers. \u201cThe quarantine measures imposed during the pandemic brought into focus our reliance on space and the essential need to traverse within an ever-shifting grid. With transportation restrictions halting our physical movements, we found ourselves disconnected \u2013 not only from people but also from the places they inhabit. It was this very restriction that spurred Christina Drakos to embark on a different kind of journey \u2013 a mental escape to the cities that hold a special place in her heart.\u201d
\nThe exhibition showcases a series of paintings that touch on the hues of desire and homecoming. In Drakos\u2019 paintings, people become the echoes of the pandemic era \u2013 quarantined yet in perpetual motion, evoking memories, experiences and aspirations.<\/strong> Through a play of geometric and organic forms that depict urban landscapes from various perspectives, people are hinted at as traces.
\nSculptures are also featured in the Cityscapes Mindscapes Escapes exhibition, offering a three-dimensional embodiment of the artist\u2019s creative mind. The synergy between the sculptures and paintings, accompanied by the addition of poems and lyrics on the gallery walls, expands the exhibition\u2019s narrative<\/strong>. Beyond her acclaim as an artist and photographer, Drakos is an experienced curator, keenly aware of the ever-shifting gaze of the viewer and the boundless fluidity of art.
\nPart of the proceeds of the exhibition will benefit the Sagapo Children\u2019s Foundation, supporting the education of underprivileged children in Cyprus and around the globe.<\/p>\n
