On the occasion of Art Athina week Dio Horia Gallery presents the exhibition ‘Notions of Female Leadership’ featuring new or recent work by four artists – Sunna Hansdottir, Caroline Larsen, Iliodora Margellos and Selma Parlour.
The exhibition presents 10 works paintings and wall-sculptures that expand the boundaries and meanings of Minimalism, Post-Minimalism and still life painting. The artists with their very distinct approaches, recast art historical minimalist practices- like repetition and geometry – in unorthodox ways. ‘Notions of Female Leadership’ was inspired by the various news headlines that monitored the disproportionate number of women leaders who have successfully managed to control the first phase of the pandemic. The artworks of the artists represented in the exhibition achieve a synthesis of disparate goals: to be politically cogent and to attain pure beauty.
