PAINTINGS & JEWELLERY

In her solo exhibition Keeping Balance, multidisciplinary artist Galya Lutzky presents a series of paintings on reflective film and cardboard, as well as ceramic jewelry, inspired by Greek decorative ornaments and motifs. Spirals, waves, lines - repetitive visual signs eternalizing time, space and movement - is a well known pattern on vases of Greek antiquity.

Galya Lutzky’s work explores how the interplay between ordered patterns can reveal the boundary separating the real from the imaginary. The regular and the random, the structure and the movement, the logic and the intuition are her major topics of interest.

With a background in mathematics, Lutzky invites the emotional, and expressive part of herself to match with her expertise in computer science and create the illusion of movement by rethinking two dimensional representation. A world citizen, born in Moscow and now living between Berlin and New York, Lutzky sees no contradiction in combining science with art. Her work is the result of her interest in spatial structures, the balance of logic and chaos, as well as her personal understanding of the 20th century art.
Galya Lutzky received a degree in Mathematics from the Moscow State Pedagogical University and worked as a computer programmer for about ten years. During perestroika in the early 90s, she decided to change careers and become an artist. She works with painting, ceramics and installation. Lutzky has taken part in numerous exhibitions around the world, including Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, USA, UK, Sweden, Greece, Montenegro, Russia, South Korea.

Π-Artworks is the tiniest art venue in down town Athens, and also serves as a museum of Greek engraving and commercial graphics on its own merit. Unchanged in decoration since its establishment by Leonidas Panourgias' father George in 1962, Π-Artworks is one of the last time capsules echoing the history of the laboring heart of Athens.
