Lately, Georgia Tseri has been creating works influenced by Japanese culture. She has attended seminars on butoh, martial arts, and especially Japanese calligraphy.
She creates her works on canvas, on silk, and also on various types of handmade Japanese paper—either left as is or treated by her with wax or various mixed media—using Japanese brushes with ink and acrylics. Her works feature small-scale prints reminiscent of Japanese stamps.
The titles of the works in this exhibition are taken from poems by the great haiku poet Matsuo Basho, thereby creating a sense of unity.
Drawing inspiration from ensō circles and rooted in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, her works highlight her love for the material, purity, imperfection, an awareness of the constant flow of life, melancholy, and joy—all in balance. According to Eastern philosophy, wabi-sabi is the essence of things, and Zen art is an external expression of the inner self.
Opening: Tuesday, July 12, at 9:00 p.m.
