A dual exhibition by Marilena Kranioti & The Krank
The exhibition Beyond the Surface, provides a multi-faceted delve into the intricacies of human existence as they traverse the duality between the immense grandeur of the cosmos and the complexities of modern society, framing it from two separate but interconnected perspectives.
Marilena Kraniotis' perspective reflects her fascination with cosmic architecture, examining the connection between physical and universal structures. Her work incorporates sensory stimuli as both an object and a means of exploration. Her inspiration is drawn from observations of the celestial dome, natural phenomena, elements of nature, earth, space and time, and the interplay of contrasts. Using archetypes and symbols, she creates environments that invite new ways of interaction. The second perspective from The Krank focuses on contemporary life. Through his work, he explores the complexities of society and its impact on humanity. He has a sharp eye for how these are expressed through urban elements and materials, which reveal the fragmented nature of contemporary society. He reflects the political and economic factors that contribute to its current state. Through his art, he delivers a powerful statement about the world, daring to challenge the viewer's perspective, while aiming to reach the consciousness without censorship, presenting in that way his messages in a deeply emotional and impactful manner.
