People - Faces – Forms
The exhibition "People – Faces – Forms" was a milestone of our visual art journey alongside the exhibitions: "The Wreck of Serenity" (Artillery Hall – Fortezza Castle), "Purple Earth" (Deep Red Earth) (“8 Art Space”) and "AFI in the Round" (Ibrahim Khan Mosque – Fortezza Castle).
The exhibition was held in the "L. Kanakakis" Municipal Gallery and the Rethymno Centre for Contemporary Art (today’s Contemporary Art Museum of Crete).
The exhibition offered a journey in the human form, as expressed by the Greek artists of the 20th century.
The main part of the exhibition featured artworks from the permanent collection of Rethymno, and it was further enriched by works that the Center had borrowed from the National Gallery, collectors and artists. Starting from the art of portraiture and renewal, it focuses on neorealism which flourished during the 60s generation until reaching our days and in particular photography, the digital image and the desire for artists to rediscover painting.
The exhibition "People – Faces – Forms" comprised artworks created by: Antouanetta Angelidi, Yiannis Adamakos, Alithinos Dimitris, Irini Apergi, Eugenia Apostolou, Theodoros Vryzakis, George Gyzis, Yannis Gaïtis, Gkirziris Kostas, Voula Gounela, Celia Daskopoulou, Nikos Engonopoulos, Theofilos, Makis Theofylaktopoulos, George Ioannou, Georgios Iakovidis, Lefteris Kanakakis, Vlassis Caniaris, Christos Karas, Kyriakos Katzourakis, Nikos Kessanlis, Harris Kondosfyris, Ioannis Lassithiotakis, Giorgos Lappas, Polychronis Lembesis, Stathis Logothetis, Nikiforos Lytras, Nikolaos Lytras, Maria Loizidou, Yiannis Moralis, Michalis Manousakis, Thanasis Makris, Yannis Migadis, Tassos Missouras, Konstantina (Dina) Balona, Xenofon Bitsikas, Chronis Botsoglou, Dimitris Mytaras, Antonis (Anton) Nikoglou, Agnese Udinotti, Anna Palieraki, Angelos Papadimitriou, Rena Papaspyrou, Konstantinos Papamichalopoulos, Triantafyllos Patraskidis, Pavlos (Dionysopoulos), Faidon Patrikalakis, Manolis Polymeris, George Sikeliotis, Chryssa Romanos, George Rorris, Panos Raimondos, Pepi Svoronou, Aspa Stasinopoulou, Edward Sakayan, Dimos Skoulakis, Vasilis Skylakos, Angelos Skourtis, Stelios Skopelitis, Yannis Tzermias, Thanasis Totsikas, Yannis Tsarouchis, Costas Tsoclis, Alekos Fassianos, Pantelis Chandris, Nikos Charalampidis, Aspassio Haronitaki, George Hadjimichalis, Maria Choulaki, Nikos Chouliaras, Jannis Psychopedis.
