Eleni Bagaki: Something Like A Poem, A Nude And Flowers In A Vase
Artist and writer Eleni Bagaki holds her first major museum exhibition, titled Something Like A Poem, A Nude And Flowers In A Vase at the National Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition’s curator Tina Pandi describes Bagaki’s latest series of paintings as “a dreamlike wandering and observation on desire, sexuality, and erotic quest”. Compositions of—mostly nude—human figures in pastel tones stand side by side with elements of the natural environment. Bagaki draws inspiration from the varied and complex ways that autobiography and fiction intersect. To that effect, she uses elements from unexpected encounters she has had during her travels and residencies abroad. The result is her trademark imagery of existential nomadic wandering—the nudes stand exposed, tender, and dreamy. Bagaki’s work of fiction “Poems for him” complements the exhibition.
Bagaki’s work has been exhibited locally and internationally, and some of it can also be seen at the currently running exhibition This current between us.
