In 2016 my first solo exhibition in Athens Greece, presented an expanded Nomatei group with new figures. They are all representing people I am acquainted with and they share a common denominator. In this case they are all book readers. In the following short gallery you see works presented in that exhibition in Genesis Gallery and few commissioned figures. The average hight of the figures is 35 cm. and two were 50 cm. All figures are made of fired earthstone groggy clay.
My work takes a variety of forms, abstract, figurative and narrative. The materials are clay, resin, plaster, acrylics, mixed media. All my sculptural works share a fascination about human connections, body language and individuality. “Nomatei”, is an installation of handmade, minumental, representational, full body portraits of individuals made of fired clay. My investigation is about a complex web of interactions which take place in the process, between artist, subject, viewer, participant, recipient, audience and object. I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. After 28 years in the communication and advertising sector, I turned my full attention to art. In 2010-12, I studied sculpture under Professor S?awomir Andrzej Mieleszko at the Art Institute of Maria Sk?odowska-Curie, University of Lublin, Poland. I received a Master’s degree in Fine Art at the University of Lincoln, UK and I am member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (http://rbs.org.uk/artists/eleni-zevgaridou).
