MARKS OF DEVOTION
Collaborative works by Georgia Angelopoulos and Miles Lowry
April 7 to May 10, 2014
You are invited to the opening reception of Marks of Devotion
on Saturday April 12th @ 3 to 5 pm
at Eclectic Gallery
2170 Oak Bay Avenue, Victoria BC.
Hours: Mon to Sat 10 - 5:30 closed Sundays
As
pilgrims of a kind, calligrapher Georgia Angelopoulos and artist Miles
Lowry draw from the visual and literary traditions of their respective
heritage. Their individual travels have allowed them to experience
first-hand the important artifacts of historic poets, artists and
scribes. This exhibition reunites
their collaboration, first explored in 2011. By pulling words into
paintings and paintings into script the two artists work on the same
ground deciphering a mysterious balance of meaning and gesture.
Together, their ‘marks of devotion’ connect to the roots and rituals of
language, crafted using fine linen, gold, cast fibre, and mineral
pigments.
